    You shouldn't. Dig up your Pac to feed him/her. They'll usually get up on their own especially if they notice there is food in their enclosure to eat. You also don't want to dig up your pac if him/her gets stressed easily. Also when you feed your Pac it should be at night since they're nocturnal also you shouldn't have really bright lights on when feeding your frog. Some of them get stressed by the bright lights when its supposed to be night.

    Yes, you should not have to dig them up since they will come up when hungry, but sometimes its not ideal to wait or feed in cage. Some people i have noticed feed theirs in separate containers perhaps they get used to this? Also sometimes they are half buried and will miss the food item and get a bunch of dirt so I kind of clear away the substrate/kind of dig them up.

    But as I said I have one frog that i can not dig up, he only eats at night and only if he comes out himself.

    Some of our frogs will vocalize to us.....especially at feeding time.
    I swear I think they are singing "Mom & Dad are great, bring us wormses to eat!!"
    Most of our froglets & frogs for sale are on a paper towel substrate (moist!!) so no issues with digging there.
    Our breeders are on coco fiber and as soon as they see the tongs in either of our hands, they will surface real quick if they are buried down!

    We do not keep our frogs in large enclosures because through trial & error, we found that if they had too much room they tend to lose the prey and it burrows in or if crickets, they could cause the frogs harm. Crickets are vicious and WILL bite any animal given the chance! We remove any left once the frog is done eating.

    When do the males start calling? Grif is probably 8 months old since he was the size of a half dollar when I purchased him. And I've had him for 7 months or a little over 7. He hasn't called but when I got him he made cheeping noises and now he just makes the popping noise when we talk to him. Id like to hear his call.

    We've found the males tend to mature around 8 to 9 months old......but it also depends on the weather. Trust me, you will KNOW if you have a male once he starts calling.

    Pacman Mating Calls - YouTube

    This is Pudding putting the moves on Jello.....they are our main breeders and the parents of ALL the froglets we have produced so far.
    The call is VERY loud and reverberates throughout our house.........ALL night.........Especially during a rainy evening. The "Clicking" or "Popping" is usually a female trait. The females will make sounds, but nothing like the mating calls from the boys.
