My pac man frog adventures

[pansie]

I had Pancake, a baby pac man that i got from a trade show.

He was small (quarter sized?) and didn't... well, do anything =p He never moved, burrowed, went in his water or any of the things i see all you guys and girls talking about! He passed away =( (My temps and humidity were bang on too!)

The empty aquarium made me sad, and I decided to try again. I found a bigger frog this time (i'm guessing 3 inches snout to vent), hoping he'd be established eating and whatnot. So last night i brought him home and he is SO AMAZING! He moves around! He jumped into his water dish and chilled out there, and he turns to look at me when i walk into the room! Last night my husband said he almost woke me up at 2am because he went into the kitchen (where the aquarium is) and he looked and there was no frog! He was worried that he had gotten out and the cat would eat him! But he moved some of the coconut stuff around with his finger, and the frog popped out. =)

This morning, we heard him croaking! so amazing! he gave 3 croaks, then popped out of the substrate! i am so in love!

my phone is having an issue emailing myself the pics, so i'll post pics later

Congrats on your new frog and sorry about the first one. Not an expert, but looks like a C. cranwelli to me. If you have not read it yet, this article has very good info on Pacman care: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding . Good luck!

oh i def read the care sheet on this site when i first got Pancake =)
i really believe i did everything as right as i could with Pancake, and maybe something was wrong with him when i got him

Best of luck with your new friend! He is a looker! (Brown C. cranwelli by the way)

It's so awesome to hear them call! Loki just started calling last week; Every time I hear him I have an "Awwwwww" moment.
