Getting a Pacman Frog soon :)

[ramp]

Never follow what you see on YouTube. that was not a good item to feed that frog. it was much too large and the chitin on that crayfish more than likely is going to cause that poor frog to become impacted. Small shrimp yes. A crayfish NO! Don't use YouTube for any kind of reference to what you should be feeding your frogs.

Completely agree with Grif !!!
My Pac's get 1 feeder shrimp once in a while as a treat, that's it. No crayfish

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Everyone freaks out when people use mealworms or something with some kind of hard exoskeleton... never mind a crayfish. Just thought it was pretty crazy to watch that go down.

Received my pacman supply shipment in today

Just got done applying the cork background to my 10 gallon. Did it with the aquarium safe silicone. Letting it set for the 24 hours and then setting up the rest tomorrow night.

I have about 6 bricks of eco earth. How much usually fills a 10 gallon sufficient enough to burrow in?
Also received the hygrometer and thermometer, vitamin supplements for dusting, a little plant, corner bowl, that may be a little to large and a little to deep.. will have to figure out something with that... and debating whether or not to include a half log hide that I have. I don't want to cramp his space.

I paid for my albino pacman already and I'm picking him up friday evening!

If you can let the silicone dry out for 48 hours, then rins well with just water, including your tank.
I think you've got the small bricks (appr. 10 x 10 cm) thesegive appr. 1/2 a gallon of substrate when moistend. I always use hot boiled water to moisten the coco bricks. I find they pulverize easyer that way and let them set for a few hours. You can prepare them now if you want in a clean bucket, that hasn(t been used with any detergents or other chemicals.

Have fun.

Very nice Albino. Be sure that the frog is in an area with low traffic that gets enough light for a day night cycle. If your temps don't quite reach 80° in the tank slap a UTH(Under Tank Heater) on the side that is appropriately sized for your frogs tank. You can also use a heat lamp that has a dimmer switch to accurately control the amount if heat produced by the bulb. Now with Albino Pac if you use a heat lamp you have to use Infrared bulbs or Moonlight Blue no others due to daytime basking lights damaging the frogs eyes and skin.

He/she looks very healthy. Take good care of him/her
