    Default Feeding too much

    My newest Pacman is about 3 to 5 months old, and he has the most unbelievable appetite of any frog of any species I have ever had. I'm simply wondering, is it possible to overfeed a younger Pacman. I know with maturity, overfeeding can lead to premature death from obesity, but right now he is young, healthy and really hungry.

    I feed him at least 4 crickets or 2-4 night crawlers every night, and he sucks them up like nobodies business. Do you think I should cut back?

    I'd say his appetite is probably a good thing, just cut back if he starts looking fat. I think a young pacman will usually eat that amount every other day.

    Lol, you could switch crickets to dubia roaches since they have more nutritional value than crickets so you can feed as much as he will eat.
