Pixie feeding problem

[Roman]

Are you feeding them separately or together?
The two big ones could be bullying the smaller ones... I've seen it happen with food and chill spots. Big one seems to push out little one or, not let it eat much. You have to remove them at that point cuz, they dont play well with others. Thats if they are together of course.
Id say if they are eating when offered and, crapping it all out smoothly, its not a big deal. But, I'm just speculating...

Do you keep all these frogs together? Superworms are pyxie's FAVORITE. I know of a few frogs, my own included that have gotten stuck on superworms. They get picky. The two that aren't eating could be female, or like I said stuck on superworms.

I have two separate and two together. The two together do not attack the cricket. The two that are solitary eat very efficiently. One of them skips a day of eating which i'm assuming is not a problem. The two together rarely eat the crickets, but they always go for the superworms. What do you suggest i do with the picky frogs. The times they eat the crickets is if it's in the water as if it's too lazy to try to catch them on land. Is it normal if i feed them crickets everyday? or should I skip some days?

I would try housing them seperately and see what happens.

With the high feeding drive of young pyxies I would recommend housing them separately.

I have had them in separate tanks, they still were not eating at that time. only superworms.

Do hope you separate them though.

Like stated above some frogs just don't feed as well as others. And I do remember female pyxies don't feed as much and often.


It is best to get them off superworms now than try to later on down the road. What size crickets are you using? Personally I would just starve them for a week or two and try crickets again.
