My new addition... Strawberry Pacman

[Rickky88]

This is my new guy/girl strawberry pacman and as of right now is doing great...Eats about 3 crickets a day or 1 superworm and 2 cricks...Today im trying a pinky mouse let me know what you guys think...Thanks ...oh i hope he gets more red

[GrifTheGreat]

First let me warn you that superworms are very bad for your Pac if Fed to often. Like mealworm(a very close rlelative) have very dense chitin that make up the exoskeleton that covers the worm. When fed too often can lead to impaction(severe constipation) and death.

Also it is recommended that you do not feed your frog a pinky mouse until your frog reaches atleast 2.5" SVL(Snout to Vent Length). If your frog is not large enough to handle a pinky they can become Impacted or develope a prolapsed intestine.


He/she looks great though. Very striking colors and pattern.

Yea I was only planning on feeding him/her superworms maybe once every couple weeks...and I will hold off on the pinkies then...it tong feeds great on great crickets...but yea I can't wait till I see what the color develops into

Earthworms are an excellent staple diet for your frog. just cut them into appropriately sized pieces and offer them to your frog via Tongs. Very nutritious for your frog.

Such a beautiful frog! Looks like a strawberry too

Ok sounds good what kind of fish should I try I heard guppies are good...or what can I feed the crickets for the best color enhancement for this guy

Great looking frog!

Just something I noticed in the pictures, if you're not putting him in a different container to feed him, you should remove the rocks and moss. Those are both impaction risks, because the frog will eat them accidentally when it lunges for food. Eco-earth cocofiber is good bedding and doesn't cause impaction if they eat it.

I've heard you can feed the crickets carrots to bring out red/orange in a frog, but that might just be a wives' tale.

Yea I have been feeding him on tongs and he is pretty good at catching the food...i don't let it run around his cage...i only took him out to soak him...i have half the tank with moss and the other half is cocofiber...thank you though

Guppies, minnows, and mollies that are appropriately sized and come from a viable source where they are housed and greening very clean conditions that are chemical and parasite free.

What is the general growth rate of a pacman frog???

Great looking pac!

What is the general growth rate of a pacman frog???

Unfortunately, growth varies a lot from frog to frog. They can reach maturity anywhere from eight months to as long as fifteen months. Females usually get larger than males, so they will normally grow at a faster rate. Growth will also have a lot to do with how they are fed as babies. It is crutial that they receive proper nutrition, regular feedings with calcium and vitamin supplements and also have correct temps and humidity. If not, their growth can be stunted.
