BTW, does anybody know how to sex these frogs?

Thanks for looking,

Very nice, really cool. Everything looks good. It would appreciate damp leaves (oak would be ok) and moss. From what I can understand, males are smaller than the females.

Good to know how to sex them, thanks much.

Also, I'll be buying fake plants and some peat moss tomorrow Hopfully he'll be happy. I'm assuming he's a male, he acts like one lol even though both act the same

Pacman frogs like live food. My LFS had these guys in stock and I looked into getting one, but when they are small they like to eat goldfish (just dropped in there) and as they grow they enjoy mice. Unfortunately, they are happy to eat anything regardless of size and I was concerned I could lose a finger (probably an unfounded concern).

 

[PRW1988]

Actually, that information is incorrect, sorry. When small Pacmans should be fed Live crickets, mealworms, wax worms and super worms. When larger, crickets will still make a tasty snack, however large feeder goldfish and frozen pinky mice are enjoyed. It's funny, if it moves it must be alive and therefore it must be food is how this frog seems to think! I just fed him an hour after I got him and he ate 5 large crickets and a feeder guppy that was 1.5" long, 1/2 an inch less than he is!

These guys are great pets I've been told, my friend has one however his is an albino. At a reptile show these guys usually go for about $20canadian, but in stores they're usually around $40, but lucky me I got him for only $25 and I got a free pack of 24 large crickets Go PJs!

Glad to hear it's eating well. But I really would advise to avoid feeder fish. But I'll leave it at that as I don't want another debate.

 

[PRW1988]

I know it is recommended to avoid feeder fish, however if I am to feed him any fish I'll breed them myself so I know they're safe.
