    Baby pacmans need more warmth. The daytime temp should be around 80, even up to 85 is fine. It's better for the humidity to be above 70%. To keep the humidity in, you can partially cover part of the terrarium lid. This will help keep the temp and humidity up. You can use a damp towel or plastic wrap. Be sure you leave about 1/3 uncovered so that your Pac still gets airflow. If you use plastic wrap, poke a few holes in it and don't put it directly under the light.

    For young pacs, you definitely want to offer food every night. It may not eat every single night, but you should give it the opportunity to. Your frog is going through some very important growth developments, so a steady but varied diet (and calcium dust!) is key to growing a strong, healthy frog.

    You can also set a piece of glass or plexiglass on top. Just a warning: be cautious about using plastic wrap as it can release toxins when heated.

    I don't know if he's a baby per se. He's the size of my palm, but I was told by his previous owner he's less than a year old. In any case I will conjure something up tonight to hold in heat and humidity.
    Do you have a particular calcium supplement you recommend?
