My baby pixie [Problem]

[BG]

Yup i was just there where you are a few months ago where i started with 3 baby pixies about and a half inch and and i lost one because i fed it tou much and it got cold and it blew up like a balloon and died so i was left with 2 and they are doing fine so start with wigglers and crickets and before you know it wala giant pixie enjoy

Oh that sucks, sorry about that. Are both of your pixies males? I hope mine is a male, *fingers crossed*. Were yours easy to hold when they were that young? I have trouble with mine, every time I scoop him into or out of his water bowl he gets a little skiddish so I try to put him down as soon as I can. He/she was the smallest ones they had at LLLReptile when I went down there. I'll take a picture of him when I can get a better shot since he/she doesn't let me hold him. John recommended me to feed my pixie night crawlers so I'll just stick to those and crickets for now instead of red wigglers. He's in a 30x12x12 terrarium right now, I really need to get him some structure and a big water bowl.

Here I just took some photos of him basking:

HIS BOWL IS TO HIGH SO TRY TO GET SOMETHING LOWER OR DIG IT IN THE COCO FIBER NICE LOOKING PIXIE I THINK ITS A MALE LIKE I SAID ITS NOT THAT LONG AGO THAT MINE WERE THAT SMALL OH YEA ONCE I PUT SOME WEIGHT ON THEM THEY JUST BECAME EATING MACHINES

Yeah I know, today I scooped out all the coco fiber under the bowl to make it a little easier for him to access. The fourth picture you'll notice I packed more coco fiber around the sides so he can slip right in. Tomorrow I'm going to get him a big bowl and less height. Dude he's pretty beast at eating for his size, If I threw a porterhouse steak in there he would probably down it. I know man, I can't wait till he's bigger.

so your a home run he's good to go actually he's a little bigger than what i thought

Yeah, thanks. Do you think I should try to feed him the crickets in a soup bowl instead of them walking around in there? Seems more practical. I'm currently gutloading them with cat chow, apples, and some flukers orange cubes that are complete **** and don't work. I don't have any of that powder supplement on me. Btw the question that I asked you earlier, were you able to hold your pixies at the same size mine is at or were they skiddish too?

when they were younger the were very skittish and unhandily as they grew older they slowed down i guess that makes sense when they are young they are very jumpy so they can escape from predators and as they get larger they are the predator SO i just didn't bother with them so i wouldn't stress them and i ran into a another problem they were so jumpy that they hit there head on lid of tank and cutting them selfs so i had to change there living courters
