Thanks!

The burrowing threw me off a bit. I knew they like to do it, but not as much as he does. I'm sure once he gets more size he won't burrow so much.

Haha yeah man you're definitely going to overwhelmed with so much dubias for one frog. I'm definitely interested in getting a starter colony right now, if you hooked me up or something I would maybe consider it soon. The problem is I could buy them locally at a reptile shop near my house, so I think you would be better off just selling them locally on Craigslist or something. Thanks for the offer though.

well today was different still. middle of the day found him in his dish so I offered him the worms. he kept missing them so I held one up in front of him, and he would grab it, then spit it right back out. Made me think he just had a bad grip or something, but he kept spitting it out.

So I just went with the dubia, and he went N-U-T-S!!

He freaking leaped a good 3 inch's and grabbed that thing. I was kind shocked how quick it jumped! So gave him a minute to get it down, dropped in another and BAM he snatched it up in a fury.

again dropped in another that went to the other side of the tank, the Pyxie spun around in a flash, and just chased it down.

I was shocked with the aggression! he was going nuts!

He ate about 5 roaches, then with me not being so careful was trying to push the roach in his direction and I must have scared the little guy with my quick hand movement or something, because he darted to the corner of the tank, was trying to jump through the plastic, then was trying to burrow poor little dude.

I felt bad so I put his lid back on and left the room.


The water is in a shallow dish, and only goes up to his neck/shoulder area, so its not deep at all. so idk why he was ignoring the worms but being RABID over the dubia. very interesting.

As far as the roaches, If im going to sell them, its not going to be for a profit. I'm not really worried about making money off them man. I would expect to be covered for my time, as far as picking through the roaches, and packing them up, also to cover the shipping, but anything above that im not worried about. Even if I sell them local im just going to expect people pretty much just compensate me for my time.

Thats cool that you have a local reptile shop with dubia, we only have a few reptile shops, and there all pretty much garbage.
