When I posted pics of my new Pixie Frog, there was an expressed interest in some pics of him eating a fuzzy. Tonight was feeding night, so I snapped a couple. Enjoy

I'll be here all week, thenkyew, thenkyew.
Yes.... that was unpleasant. I barely got nicked, but it stung pretty bad and wouldn't stop bleeding for a while. I have a cool scar to show for it thoughArpeggioAngel said:Wicked cool! I know in your last post you mentioned that one bit you at your work...do they hurt when they bite?
Hate to sound dumb, but do they have teeth? Or is it just the pressure? The only frogs and toads I've been around were small garden toads. The kind that pee when you pick them up! Barely palm-sized, and they didn't bite. That thing looks awesome though. Like a vicious Kermit!lefty_mussolini said:Yes.... that was unpleasant.

Thanks, and that's not a dumb question at all.Bobo's Mama said:Hate to sound dumb, but do they have teeth? Or is it just the pressure?

Dogs could kill you if they decide to bite, but many people find them rather enjoyable. I'd still rather be bite by frogs and snakes and lizards than bit or scratched by a dog or a cat... not to say that I don't have a dogJdizzyfizzy said:If they hurt when they bite then whats the pleasure of keeping one?
I feed him a fuzzy mouse every 3-4 days and super worms every day that he doesn't get mice. This is a bit of an accelerated feeding schedule though. Most feed their Pixie an appropriately sized mouse once a week.Nanci said:Looking good! How often does SBJGT eat?
My Jumpy Bumpy is about 3 inches right now. The Fuzzy that I fed him in the pics was a small one, but the Fuzzy I fed him a couple of days ago was bigger. You could most likely get your pacman to eat a pinky. It is pretty surprising the food items that these can take. We have some Pacmans at work that are a bit smaller than Sir Jumpy that are taking fuzzies weekly.Hypancistrus said:I have heard that horse bites are quite nasty. Fortunately, never been on the sampling end of one. Worst bite I ever got was off of a large adult male rat. Very territorial animal, and I was foolish enough to lean my arms on his cage. He slithered up the water bottle and bit me clear to the bone on my middle finger. Ouch! :sidestep:
Trevor, I too love big, fat, toothy and aggressive frogs and toads. I currently have an ornate horned frog (albino) named Banana, and always drool over the regular ones too. I can't say why they appeal to me, because other than when he is eating, I rarely see him.
Hope you don't mind a few questions from me....
1. How big is your frog right now? That looks like a peach fuzzy mouse to me... but I just can't believe it's eating something THAT large. I'm feeding Banana small, gut loaded crickets, with calcium powder... but I wonder if he'd take a pinky?
2. What are you housing yours in? What kind of substrate? Do they require extra heat or light?
3. How big will he be at "full grown" size?
Thanks for the answers Trevor... awesome pics, and glad there's a fellow bruiser frog addict on the board. :santa:
