Do Pacmans hibernate?

Also be sure to keep the little guy's/girl's substrate moist not mud. That's the saying that goes for the substrate.

Yes! I read tht in the care sheet on this site and have been doing it all wrong! Today is Christmas shopping for Pacman! (By the way happily named by my children! lol) Thanks everyone!

Lol! That's awesome. Don't use moss of any kind in his home. If he accidentally eats a piece while chasing his food he could become impacted(severly constipated) which can cause death. You should be on your way to keeping him safe warm and happy now. Good luck with the Christmas shopping. Maybe Santa will get your chubby Pac some good stuff.

Wait! No moss either? I have been misled completely!! His cage has moss per the "experts" for added moisture. Is the large clump of moss ok, just not the shredded? Holy cow This lady is starting from scatch! I will send pictures as soon as I can!

Its only ok if you feed your frog in a separate container. A feeding tank. Removing them from their home even to feed can cause stress if the frog isn't used to it. Moss us great for added humidity but is risky if the frog is fed in its home when it contains moss. These are aggressive eaters and do accidentally eat substrate when feeding. The coco fiber is ok and easy for them to pass but moss is not. No stones/moss/sharp objects/sand/wood chips/bark/etc. She really had that only partly right. Its only fine if your frog is fed in a feeding tank. They do enjoy moss and sometimes burrow in the soil near it or in it but you're better safe than sorry.
