New Fantasy Frog

[ReptiMike]

Just picked up my first frog ever at the Columbia Repticon show, a fantasy pac-man frog.

Here is the enclosure:
Organic Topsoil for substrate and only using Reptisafe water in the water bowl and waterfall




Here is the little guy/girl:


Hoping he holds those orange colors, was going to get a albino but these fantasys caught my eye. Only 10 bucks more, so I had to have one.


My only problem that I am running into is.....where do I feed him? I feed Dubias and he got 1 down but the others escaped into the waterfall or behind it, as he wouldn't take them off tongs. I don't wanna stress him out but I want him to eat.

You might be able to use a deli cup to feed him/her in. Usually they come in one at the show.

To add to mikes suggestion; a plastic shoebox can work as well if you can't get your hands on a deli cup.

Thanks guys. Wasn't sure if you were supposed to feed like that or not. I have plenty of 6 qts lying around.

Also I know I just got him but the last 2 days he has only eaten 1 Dubia roach (1/2 inch) each time. He doesn't seem like a very active or aggressive eater.
Temps are in a reptile room set at 78-80 degrees. Will it just take a bit of time for him to settle in? Also I am adding a LED light to give him a good day and night cycle.

I could never get mine to eat dubias. They seemed to not like them and spit them out. I feed crickets,mice and am going to try the new pacman food from japan. Its cheap on the wholesale list.

I haven't noticed a change in health only feeding crickets and mice. I've had a frog eat a new born rabbit. As long as they are a "in shape" frog and not obese they seem to do great.
