I've only had my Pixie for a month now but he has had a pretty varied diet so far. I started him on crickets and meal worms and then I tried frozen/thawed pinkies and now I'm feeding wax worms. I've also caught worms and moths outside which he seems to really enjoy. Next after my wax worms are all gone I believe I will try phoenix worms as I read those are healthier because their higher in calcium and lower in fat. Who knows maybe even my fingers will be on the menu in a few months.
