Food Question

[MeTree]

My new guy has been eating 3-4 crickets a day, depending on the size of the crickets.

Mine is a half dollar size and it eats two 1" crickets a night

What ever he can eat in 15 min. If he had his fill then you'll see him jump away. Looses interest for now.

Alright thanks guys!

I was told at one time these guys will just keep eating if you let them, so thats why I was asking. I had a pacman when I was younger and killed it from what I thought was overfeeding. This guy seems nice and healthy and I just want to keep it that way. Thanks again guys!

Generally a Pacman Frog can't eat enough to harm itself catching his own food in 15-20 minutes, babies feed every day to every other day, and adults feeding 3-4 times a week (sometimes less is fine). If you think your Pacman Frog is eating too many crickets, you can always ask. I am just saying that it is very hard to do any harm overfeeding following this guideline.

So I have a similar question. My pacman is about three to four inches across. I have been feeding him night crawlers they are about 4 inches long. I have fed him up to 3 at a time. I think he will keep eating. Should I feed him everyday at this size if he will eat. Does the same feed them till they stop rule apply if you are tong feeding them? Lastly, are night crawlers a good staple food. I put a little calcium dust on them every other time.

@Ribbit, at 3-4 svl length... He doesn't need to eat every day, 2-3 days a week is plenty. Only the young ones need to eat everyday. Night crawlers are an excellent staple diet. Yes the same 15-20 minute rule applies if you're tong feeding. Night crawlers have one of the best protein:fat ratio and a good calcium: phosphorus ratio as well. If you're only going to be feeding one staple diet, it is recommended to give some variety bi-weekly.
