Looking into Pyxie frogs

[MeTree]

Glad to hear that Pyxies are Ok with crickets. And so, my research continues.

I think that if I was going to do anything other than a huge water dish (like divide the habitat 50/50), then I think I would have to do glass and silicone. I like the idea of a submersible heater, as I use those in my fish tanks. I imagine a simple 25W heater would work fine.

6 to 8 bigger surface area than frog " long doesn't seem all that big. If you had an adult male Pyxie (9" long) than that is only (9x8) 72" surface area, which is only a 9" by 8" tank (give or take afew inches). That is much, much less surface area than a 10g tank (20"x10"). Maybe I mis-read the formula??

Next questions, what are all the species of ABF? I just learned the other day that there was more than 1. I'd like to know them all, just to know them all.

Thanks guys!

Yea i don't think i explained the formula very well here's a diagram i made awhile back to help explain.

Imo for african bullfrogs all I can say is.... don't feed them mice/rats. Uhmmm the soil personally for my frogs I use top soil(natural---make sure it has no pesticides, chems, fertz) its really cheap and very usefull. 1 large bag=3dollars at walmart.
I'd say give them room to dig. Use tongs for feeding or just drop the crickets in(wait for other members to reply on this---theres an african bullfrog expert on board. :P)
I would say you can also refer to the caresheet made for african bullfrogs.

Hopes it helps.(thats all I can give regarding african bullfrogs)

Rats and Mice are fine to feed as long as they're fed sparingly.(once every month or 2)

I thought they were bad to feed to them because of all the high fats and such. I recall a thread on the forum about it. I recall as well a few posts of people saying they only feed em when they are done with hibernation for a little boost.

Not a 100% sure on it. Though I guess I -myself- wouldn't feed one to a frog. But that's my personal opinion on it.

i feed a mouse a week its healthier because their is no rot because they have a good digesting time and its easier and my frogs look good.

hmmm ill look at the threads that I recall saying that you shouldn't feed mice to frogs. lol.
Though my honest opinion is-- if they don't eat it in the wild, maybe its not good for them to eat it at all. After all a frog is not a dog. lol.

That's all Iam going to post up. lol. Too many links to read.

And edit: If anything you could feed the 1mice every few months---as a treat. Personally like I said I don't recommend it. I don't think frogs are good at digesting animal fur---but that's just me.

I would ask the member Jo-Anna aka Jace. She's a pro at these frogs.
