CB Baby Pixie Frogs Overview
CB Baby Pixie Frogs are a species of frog that is native to Madagascar. They are also known as the Tomato Frogs, due to their red and orange coloration. Pixie frogs can grow to be about 4-5 inches in length, and they typically live for 10-12 years.
Pixie frogs are semi-aquatic, meaning that they spend part of their time in water and part of their time on land. In the wild, Pixie frogs live near water sources such as ponds, streams, and rivers. They are also known to inhabit areas of high humidity, such as rainforests.
Pixie frogs are typically an orange or red color, with some variation in pattern and coloration. Some Pixie frogs may have darker spots on their body, while others may be almost completely solid in color.
Pixie Frog Care Sheet
These frogs provide an excellent learning opportunity and can teach you a lot about taking care of a large amphibian.
What We Like About Pet Pixie Frogs
- Their diet is very easy as they eat just about anything.
- They are very inactive and do not need a large terrarium.
- They can be very sociable if they are handled from a young age.
Cons
- They can be very aggressive and territorial so must be kept alone.
- Their aquarium should be kept very humid.
- Difficult for beginners to handle if they are purchased as an adult.
Pixie Frog Diet
Pixie Frogs are omnivores and will eat animals that are almost the same size as them. They will only eat plants if they are hungry. They are a sit and wait predator that eats every couple of days.
They will eat any food that comes their way:
- Rats
- Lizards
- Other frogs
- Small birds
- Baby snakes
They are not picky and will rarely reject food.
Adults should be fed two or three times a week with occasional snacks. Food should always be fed with forceps to avoid getting your finger bitten.
There isn’t a commercial feed available for adult Pixie Frogs so they should be fed several gut-loaded insects or a freshly thawed pinky mouse. Some owners feed Purina trout chow.
Juveniles should eat the same diet as adults but every day.
Leftover food should be spot-cleaned within two hours of feeding.
Tadpoles mostly eat aquatic plants, insects and algae. You can feed a commercial tadpole diet.
Pixie Frog Lifespan & Health
Pixie Frogs can live long and healthy lives when they receive correct husbandry. Their typical lifespan is 20 years, but some have been recorded to have lived for 45 years.
Their most common health problem is obesity because they are always eager to eat. It is essential that you feed them based on a diet plan or schedule.
You should track their weight and body condition to plan their food intake. Your frog should grow until they are two years old and then their weight should be relatively consistent.
Another health problem that may occur in this species is internal parasites.
Parasites can easily be avoided by keeping their enclosure warm. If your frog is disinterested in eating this could be a sign of parasites, fungal or bacterial infections.
