I also give my Pyxies a rest period. Not being active, I don't feel they need to eat as much. They are all doing well and eat when food is offered and molt as necessary, so why mess with a good thing?

Do you not buy crickets? I have honestly never heard of feeding beef. I loved your pics-they definitely looked like happy frogs!! I have yet to come across a Budgett's for sale where I am, but when I do, I will snatch it up in a heartbeat!!
