Reply To: my baby pixie frog always get frigten or run away when i go near its enclosure

Ive never had one, but I pretty much do the same with all my animals, with a few tweaks depending on species. Id just sit my hand in the enclosure (maybe even put him in an empty tub where your hand is the only thing to hide behind. Move as little as possible) near him until he seems like hes used to it. Feed him however you normally do, while your hand is in there. Then feed him on or above your hand. The goal is for them to associate you/hand with positive things. Maybe even slide your hand very slowly underneath him so hes sitting on you. If he accepts being on you always let him go when he wants. Do not pick him up until he is used to your hand being close. You dont want him to think every time you come near it means hes being caught. Right now youre still a predator to him.
