Hi everyone! So I recently got two baby pacmans. I've been up all night the last few nights educating myself, but its pretty difficult to just gather a sense of the proper way to raise some happy frogs from just reading other peoples responses (so much variance!). It's really important that all my pets are absolutely at the top of their game, so heres the details on their set up, and please help me as to what else I should be aware of or need to change, thanks!
They are each in ten gallon tanks, with about three inches of eco earth substrate.
I've got a half log in one and a decorative skull in the other to make some hiding places, as well as a live plant and water dish in each.
I've got a thermometer/hygrometer that I move from one tank to the other the check those numbers. My humidity is between 75 and 85 percent in each, and my temps are at a low of 75 and a high of 83.
I've been using bottled water to mist them. My roommate owned a bunch of reptiles before I kicked her out, and when I got the frogs she told me I needed to mist them often, so I was using her distilled water. and then I read somewhere that that burns their skin! Since then I've used nothing but bottled water, misting them daily
As far as food, I have red wigglers and multivitamin coming in the mail. I plan to feed them a worm a day, every other day I'll dust it with vitamin. I read this somewhere and it made me most comfortable. I'll probably get them some crickets sometime to feed them every once and a while, but I'm leaning towards these vita-wigglers as a staple..
Other than that, I've got a couple of small heating pads in the mail so I can raise my daytime temperature to 80 or 85. But I'm a little torn as to how I should use it, seeing as I've read that frogs try to bury themselves to cool off, and under-tank-heaters kind of ruin this idea
And I seran-wrapped half of my screen tops so I could get the humidity to where it is.
Am I on the right track?? Please let me know if my litte guys need any other type of special attention!
