Other feeding Options

[GrifTheGreat]

ok well the problem is i have never seen him eat some thing as soon as i have put it in the tank i see most pacs just go right after it but usually mine will wait at least an hr one time i put a pinkie in and he didnt eat it till 12 hrs later so i dont want to put the horn worms in just o find out they are borrowing and hes not eating them.... should i try going on a feeding schedule with mine? and if so what are the best times?

Usually at night when your frog awakens is the best time to offer food. You can also put the fooe in just be fore it time for him/her to wake up. Sometimes hunger makes them wake up and begin to chase their food. A good schedule for a baby is everyday for healthy fast growth. Dust the food with calcium every other feeding. Dust with a multivitamin once a week. I offer food everyday for my baby and did the same for Grif when he was a baby all the way up to a juvinile. This promotes strong healthy growth. My baby Green Cranwelli eats when its hungry so it doesn't eat for a day or two sometimes. I guess it all depends on your frog. Look at the care article for Pacmans it might have a feeding scedule listed in it. I like to do my own and it seems to work for me so far.

Do you dust your crickets? I have noticed my brown cranwelli likes to go after smaller size dusted crickets more than larger or undusted ones.

I've noticed this in Grif for his large crickets. Maybe they see them easier when coated with the white calcium dust.

it might be because it's not wiggling enough. Diggy ignores night crawler until I wiggle them with tong n than he's hooked ever since. (or maybe it's the shinny tong? cuz he went after it a few times when i try to pick up his poop lol)
I usually feed him before I go to bed. main light went off around 8pm kind gives him a few hr to wake up. 1 large night crawler plus 4~5 dusted crickets, which i left them running around the tank for him to play around over night. adult female crickets have to be tong feed to him other wise u gonna have a ton of ping head running around before u know.
once a while i'll leave a medium/large guppy in his water dish, if they are still there the next day than feed it to him instead of the night crawler, cuz guppies dont last that long in there. poke it a little and make it bounce around if it's just laying on the floor.
btw i tried out the turtle/fish food mix too. just another method i found online where they wet the turtle food+vitamin+calcium (whatever the frog needs)and mush them together into a little ball, then tong feed the frog. It cost a lot more but I figure it's a good way for Diggy to get his missing nutrition, so I decided to do it once a week. basically if i move it in front of him enough(n touches his mouth a little) he will go for it. the only thing i dont like about this way is that my finger stink with shrimp smell from the turtle food...

Another thing that works for me is misting the whole enclosure before feeding. That will usually wake up/get the frogs attention.

I've got a Zoo Med Reptifogger hooked up to a Zoo Med Hygrotherm. As soon as the the humidity drops a couple % it kicks the fogger on. I will mist with distilled water to keep the soil moist. As soon as the light goes out or I switch to the night lights my Pacs get up and are ready to eat.

I just checked the frog room. Its 79 degrees,80 % humidity tonight.
