    Exclamation Feeder fish for pacman frogs

    1. what do i feed feeder fish for a pacman frog.
    2. are feeder fish healthy. my vet told me to feed him baby goldfish because my frog was low on calcium so he would get calcium from the bones of the fish?

    Ouch. I would have expected more from a vet.

    I would only feed goldfish as a once in a while item. There are a ton of reasons for this. I will cut to the chase and give you two important ones. Feeder fish carry a LOT of disease and parasites. Feeder fish are not that great of a nutrient source especially for calcium.

    A better source for calcium rich feeders would be crickets feed collard greens and mustard greens. Called gut loading your feeders. I would even sprinkle the greens with calcium powder for a boost.

    Earthworm appear to be rich in calcium. Try dusted earthworms.

    Good luck

    two months ago i feed feeder fish to my turtles as a treat and they both suddenly passed away 2 days later i had them for many years!
    i would never feed them to my frogs feeder fish can carry parasites it may just be the experience i went threw but i would not recommend it buy calcium dust
