Pixie feeding problem

[jaguilar15]

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.

Yes i'm going to get them off superworms asap, I'm just going to starve them a couple of days and then start throwing crickets in there again. And yes i should separate them soon. It's just the ones that were separate and are together now still didn't eat well when they were separate. So i was was thinking it was something more than the separation issue
