Question about feeding

[Jace]

I would also suggest swtiching up the diet. Try earthworms, grasshoppers, and roaches to give a high protein, low fat variety for him. My ABFs enjoy 50 crickets as a weekly treat, but the majority of their diet is earthworms that they literally stuff their faces with!!

When you feed the worms do you put them in a dish? I was trying worms but they seemed to just burrow in the subrate. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I use feeding tongs and let my bullfrog grab them from them. Most of the time, they drop and he picks them up.

i put a flat rock, an drop the earthworms onto the rock, an just monitor them so they dont escape, Bully is usaly quick enough to get them before they get off. also i cut them in half, easier digestion.

I know I'm kind of digging up a month old thread here, but I don't want to start another one to annoy people. My pixie is like 2.5 inches, I feed him every 2 days. I start with like 2-3 large night crawlers from walmart. Then I dust about 3-4 adult crickets with reptovitamin once a week, it has like small amounts of calcium and d3 with a lot of other vitamins. I throw like 5-7 crickets in there (That's including the dusted crickets) into his cage. He sits in his water dish for awhile after I feed him the night crawlers in there. Then while the crickets are moving along side his bowl or move onto the substrate he tries to jump at them and misses a lot eating some substrate. My dad figures he should probably do that anyways as he would do in the wild. Should I just keep the crickets in his cage because eventually he'll get out of his water dish and realize they're there. Is he getting enough food? He also tries to creep up slowly on the crickets walking slowly, but he hasn't had a high success rate. Tonight I watched him try to chase a dusted cricket and the cricket jumped into his water bowl and he did also finally slamming it down chasing it. He's very fun to watch. He seems healthy, he jumps, he ate on the first day I got him, he takes dumps almost daily in his water dish, his eyes are clear.
