Hey everyone,
I've been having this "issue" for some time now. My pyxie frog has been extremely stubborn/clever with his choice of food lately. Now, he's anything but picky, but he will not touch something that's dead! When he was younger he ate a few dead rat pups, and a chick once, but for some time now, it's as if he's just too godamn clever.
I think it may be partially my fault, and I simply got him used to live prey. Does anyone elses pyxie do this? He hasnt eaten in a week, and he passed his last meal just fine and is seemingly active and hungry...and I'm willing to bet when I get a few feeder roaches and fuzzy's tomorrow he'll polish them off in a minute or two.
So, are these guys really that good at telling the difference between live food and dead food? I even tried hannging/wiggling/dragging, the chick by a string, just so he couldnt see me...nope, still nothing. I think he simply likes them raw and wiggling.
