Does anyone think feeding a giant pyxie frog madagascar hissing cockraches would be a good idea? And do pyxies need mineral suppliments if so what kind/brand?

They are great feeders...Easy to breed, large, and they can't fly. I use repcal or reptivite, not sure which. Make sure you gutload with veggies for the roaches. Andy

But the roaches grow though, just like the frogs, but at a quicker rate so therefore they start out pretty small and grow up. If you have a breeding colony, you can have different sizes of roaches for each stage of froglets, juvies, and adults.
