Good feeder for pacman frog?

[Sublime]

Night crawlers are a great staple, excellent source of protein:fat and calcium: phosphorus ratios. The superworms are not a good staple and should only be fed occasionally or as a treat, simply because their hard exoskeleton contains chitin which is not good dietary source. They're the larvae of a beetle once they pupate so that's the reasoning behind that, in the wild they wouldn't deal with a lot of that. The superworms are also high in fat and not much calcium, so they're not getting a lot of nutritional value out of that feeder. For feeder fish, make sure they're captive bred. Don't feed goldfish, others like guppies, minnows, and shiners would be good occasionally... Feeder fish shouldn't be a staple though, they don't come across this food often even though it has beneficial nutrients. You can cook frozen shrimp bought at a supermarket as another occasional food source.

Seems like you will only be feeding your pacman one dietary staple, which is fine, but you should consider letting him have more of a variety with invertebrates. You could try Samurai Japan Pacman Food as another choice of variety, Samurai Japan Reptiles -Pacman Frog -. I'm not sure if this should be fed as a staple, probably best to feed this once a week if you decide to buy it. Other than that the occasional once every 1-2 months appropriately sized mouse, half size rule...

Also check out the care sheet on caring for your pacman: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding. Other than that your daily or every other day calcium with or without d3 along with once a week multivitamin should do well.

ya i think i might get him. hes a nice blueish color to and hes only $80 so seems like a pretty good deal for that color. also i have to drive 45 minutes to get to any other store so might aswell do some good for a frog and have the convienience of buying him local
