Pedro (my pacman) is about 6.5 cm long, approx. 2.6 inches - the crickets were small, I didn't buy the big ones as I read many care sheets for pacmans (almost everyday), that the size of foods shouldn't be bigger than half of the size of the pacmans - plus I think it would pain me to see him trying to swallow something so big (like many videos posted online).

    Would nightcrawlers be good for him at this stage? I am trying to give various foods for him to eat.

    Will definitely post some pictures of him, he is hiding at the moment.

    Thanks again
    For smaller frogs the crickets should be no larger than distance between frogs eyes. Reason for that is that the crickets head is pretty much indigestible and could impact a smaller frog. Think could take the smaller night crawlers or you can cut them in 3 in. pieces for Pedro. My 3 in. C. cranwelli can eat 2 of the large night crawlers and 3-4 crickets in one meal.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
