My New Baby! :D

[MeTree]

Hey guys!

I went to an expo in Houston today. I called ahead of time to make sure that they would have some Pacman Frogs. I got there and they only had babies, quarter sized. I was hoping for a bigger one, but that was all they had. I can't say that I am upset about that, though. Malcolm was that size when I got him. I got a beautiful albino Pacman Frog today (my only Pacman Frog), and I so happy to finally have a Pacman Frog again!! I missed so much having a large fat frog waiting for crickets, and lazily sitting around!

He (I assume it is a he for now, but obviously I'm not sure) is doing great! I was going to try a stab at feeding him tomorrow, but I just couldn't resist giving him something to do (he looked so bored ). I dropped in the cricket and wallah! a preditor ! Took him 3 minutes to catch his first cricket (the expo people fed him some kind of isopod looking thing), and I even got him on video!

I know they are supposed to be able to digest the cocofiber Ok, and I know handling them hurts their immunity, but I am wondering if I should do feeder tank for now until he is about a month. I am a little worried about impaction, but I also don't wont to tax his immune system. I know this is kind of a grey area, so I just want to hear some opinions. Afew opinions never hurt anything.

I am so excited and I can't wait to get some pictures up!!

Metree I'm so happy for ya. You saved a poor little pacman. Yey. He is fine in your hands. Can we see pics of the grow out setup, and romeo himself.lol Keep him warm and humid at 80F/65% to keep him hungry and he can shed easy. Cocofiber is fine. small water bowl is goof dusted crickets is good. Wigglers are great.

I second Tiko and BG. I'm happy that you have another Pacman. The little guy will never replace Malcolm but it help to fill the hole in your heart. Congrats on the little one. Hope to see some pics soon. I wouldn't worry about the coco fiber. I have a baby on it and feed the little guy/girl on it and no problems. Just break the hind legs off the crickets and hell easily catch them. Congrats again.

Go ahead rubb it in.lol . Just kidding . I would love to be outhere with you guys. Sounds like tons of fun.lol

Thanks so much for the advice and the kind words! I am so glad to have a Pacman Frog again. I can't wait to watch this guy grow! I would absolutely love to go to the show in November, but unfortunately I don't drive yet, and it was hard enough getting my parents to take me to this show. Not to mention I had to do 1 1/2 semister of high school math, 1 1/2 of high school science, and 1/2 semister of Spanish I in about 16 days just to prove that I was responsible enough to get another Pacman Frog (homeschool rocks!) LOL. If it were up to me, I would love to, but I don't think I could make it this year.

I am sorry for the lack of pictures! My computer is having serious issues right now uploading anything from my computer to the internet. I didn't realize that until I stayed up until after midnight last night trying to get the pictures to upload. Thankfully, overnight I got 1 picture to upload to my photobucket, so maybe that will come up for us.

Sometimes looking at pictures it is hard to believe the little guy is only quarter size. I wish I could get more up, but hopefully I can correct that later today. For now, here is a sneak peak!
