How long can adults go without eating??

Just to point out, this thread is 2 years old

as for the rest of it, nutritional disorders are fairly known, novice keepers are constantly asking same questions and run into the same problems and it is why it is important to keep telling them the proper way of doing things, helping save one frog at a time.
obesity is a big problem in north america in general, in people and in their pets. Frogs are different. Actually obesity in not that common in guinea pigs unless they are fed commercially made food.

Haha I realized. Just felt like remarking. What would you say are novice keepers biggest mistakes, Lija?

What would you say are novice keepers biggest mistakes, Lija?

1.husbandry, it is the leading one by far and consequences are deadly if not corrected soon enough.
2. Nutrition, feeding junk food (mice, etc) and not supplementing food correctly.
3. Getting a frog for fun, mostly after watching youtube videos of frogs owned by stupid people.
4. Quarantine ( luck of it or not suffient)
That would be true for any frog, not just pacman.

LOL

I've had a tree frog (Polypedates leucomystax) go off feed for 20 days without losing weight. I'm guessing an almost sedentary frog like a pacman can go longer than that

Sure healthy adult pacman can go for more then 20 days, especially after a big meal.
