    Well, looks like im finally getting a giant pixie tomorrow then lol. One more question, if the pet store hasnt properly fed it, ie no dusting, gut loading, or anything of substance except useless crickets, could of the frog had its growth stunted by this point?

    The frog could definitely be stunted by poor nutrition. Most deficiencies can be remedied by immediate supplementation of the frog's food. I would provide Calcium with D3 every feeding for a week and dust with a multivitamin twice a week for 2 weeks to get them in his system then go to the normal regimen.

    Also its already been stated, but that's a male for sure

    Definitely a male and he seems to be healthy.
    Does he accept food ?
    in addition to supplementation, provide him with nightcrawlers, dubia roaches, locusts and mices.

    Thanks everyone! Just bought the little guy and got him all set up and he promptly burried himself in the soil lol. Ill get some pics up when he is settled and comes back to the surface.
    I have to admit I was a little disturbed when I bought him. I saw a girl smoking outside the pet store when I drove up and was like "yea knowing my luck thats the one whos going to pick up my frog." Sure enough she was. I felt like asking her to wash her hands first but that felt a little rude lol. Im sure its no issue but im paranoid sometimes.

    And as a couple side notes yes, he is accepting food. I figured it would be safe to feed him some feeder fish since I know he has never had any in his life. He ate 4 even before I moved him to his tank. They mentioned they fed him pretty well, and im inclined to believe it. Crickets, superworms (which im not fond of as a food item) and occasional pinkies.
    They also said they got him in mid July and he was maybe toonie sized at that point. For all you non canucks a toonie is maybe 1.5 times a quarter. So I believe that means a decent growth rate.
