I have a few questions seeing as how i am new to the Frog World.

#2, he was eating the first 2 days, but nothing the next 2 days ( 2 mealworms a day is all he would eat) is this normal?
#3, When i come home from work he is completely hidden, is this normal?
#4, he has yet to go into his mini pool at all, Normal?
#5, the 1st picture is close up of the face, Opinons on his/her sex?

All help is much appreciated, i love this little guy/gal and dont want to lose it

Hey mate welcome to the forum. Can you tell us how you're housing him. Whats the temp,humidity and space? Congrats on your new pacman. Its a yellow?red in the first pic. The second is not clear. And your not gonna lose him. As a matter of fact youll be getting him a friend down the road.lol

10 gallon tank, 82 degrees, not sure of humidity, i mist twice a day, Coco fiber floor, when i come home from work there is a bit of condensation on the tank walls. hes not yellow, bad camera Hes albino and has the red eyes, but is getting more and more green coloring in him?

everything is about right. The only thing is the 10 gal tank is to big for him now. They some times get stressed in a big tank for now. You have to feedhem crickets and wigglers and wax worms for now. You might have to keep him in a smaller container for now so he can be able to catch his food easyier.

I have been making it easy on him, i have been repeatidly putting the meal worms right infront of him, he eitehr kicks them away, or turns him self to the let or right. and i have tried putting him in a feeding dish (white plastic bowl i just bought so he does not ingest any coco fibers)

The little fella might be a little constipated due to the meal worms. Their exoskeleton is tough to digest. I would stick to crickets/red wigglers/wax worms. They are much easier for your frog to digest. You should pick up a hygrometer so you know what % the humidity is. 70 to 80% is ideal.

Beautiful Pacman Frog! Albino Pacman Frogs are going to be your Ceratporhys cranwelli (which yours is ). These are also known as Cranwell's Horned Frog. You may see these refered to as the "Argentine Horned Frog", but I believe technically Argentine Horned Frogs are Ceratoprhys ornata (aka Orante Horned/Pacman Frog).

Pacman Frogs like to burrow and hide. In a larger tank you probably wont see them as much. It is recomended to start out young Pacman Frogs in a smaller tank, like was said before.

It is nearly impossible to determine the sex of a young Pacman Frog. There are afew things that are usually more specific to a certain gender such as the shape of the snout, the coloration of the chin, and feet pads, and the rate of growth. Even a collection of multiple signs still doesn't for sure determine the gender of your Pacman Frog. Once it grows older, males will be able to croak at 9 months, but often they don't until they are older. If it croaks later (not to be confused with other vocal noises), then you have yourself a male. If it grows past 5 1/2" without croaking, then it is probably a female (cranwelli males usually stop growing at 4", in very rare cases they get more than 5"). That is pretty much the best we can do right now when it comes to sexing.

Sounds like you are doing a good job taking care of him. I second the previous members' dietary and homing suggestions. Congratulations on your new buddy!

This is true the Argentine Horned Frog is the C. Ornata. The Cranwells Horned frog is actually the Chacoan Horned Frog.
