    Thanks guys!

    Ah, I'll check out his feet tonight at feeding time. He hasn't tried to chomp me yet, ha ha! So I'll try to sneak a peek. He doesn't seem to be fearful at all. He does not even jump away from me. I'm fairly sure it's because of his poor previous living conditions. Otherwise he would likely have died by now. He was not given any shelter or privacy.

    I thought I heard a noise two nights ago but it didn't sound like a croak, more like a squawk kind of sound. Then I didn't hear it again so I thought maybe it was something else. It has been raining here the last three days, however. I will open my bedroom window tonight and see if I get a response.

    It is odd though my RETF's have been awake for more hours than usual, although nothing in their environments have changed. Perhaps a coincidence though.

    He's definitely a cool pac. I am lucky to have found him .

    Hey! Question...he shifts burrowing spots daily and I am presuming he leaves me little "presents" in each hole? So I have been scooping each little spot when he moves to his next spot and then just spreading the clean substrate again. Is that appropriate?

    That's fine Heather. We change out the substrate once a month or more because the ammonia from the urine can build up and become toxic. You can usually tell by the smell........clean coco fiber smells earthy, when it's going bad it smells it!!
    The squawking sound could very well have been him vocalizing.

    Did it sound anything like this??

    It was funny! It startled me! Ha ha! Little guy's probably delirious from that crazy pet shop! :/ I'll see if he does it again tonight. He was still soaking last night when I went to bed so I didn't bother him.

    Sounds like he is doing very well. He'll be doing much better now that you saved him from that terrible store. Their personalities are awesome.

    He definitely is a feisty little guy. It's pretty cool. My RETF's are so mellow. Quite the difference.

    They showed a lot of "heart" for that pacman, huh? What a joke. Now he's actually being taking care of by someone who has a heart.

    Okay. Here's a picture of his little foot. Does it look as if he's a male? I haven't heard any more noises.

    Crazy little guy is just looking out at me. He is not fearful at all. Odd.

    Tank is growing so fast. I'm so glad I purchased him! He is an awesome frog! He's pretty active for a pac. Well, at feeding time, anyway. I love my little guy! Here are some updated pictures...

    Yeah, it's a quarter! He sure has .

    He's such an awesome frog. He's so easy to care for because he follows his own routine. He always soaks after he eats and then poops by morning. After he soaks he'll hop around a bit and then go burry.

    He's almost kinda friendly for a pac. He doesn't mind me cleaning his home at all. He just hops around a bit. He never cares that I'm in his house, lol. And he doesn't seem to get scared or care too much when I measure him either.

    I love when he sits at the front of his home peeking out the glass . Too cute!
