Considering a pacman frog

[emandkel]

I spotted a small (guessing about 1 1/2 inches) ornate Pacman frog at Petsmart, and am considering getting it.

At this size, what size crickets would be good to feed?

Because of it's size, I think I've read to house it in a small container (such as a small critter keeper). Is this a good idea? I'd place the critter keeper within a 10-gallon aquarium with a UTH heater on the side of the aquarium.

Would paper towels be better than coconut fiber at this size?

Thanks for any advice on this.

You'll house one this size in a medium to large critter keeper medium being best for this size frog.

You'll feed it small to medium crickets.

Use Coconut fiber as substrate that is about 1 1/2" deep so the frog can bury itself. Place a water dish that is big enough for the frog to sit comfortably in and short enough for the frog to vet in and out if easily. Up to the frogs shoulders should be right depth and water level should be half the night of the frog.

i got mine from pet-smart, they put him in a little container that said "vet assured, the sure sine of a healthy pet", well, when i got home i opened it up to find a frog with a eye infection. he had a large brown jelly like bubble covering one eye, i had no idea what to do and while i was figuring it out over a period of 4 days it began to clear up. luckily hes fine now but i thought i'd share it with you because of the irony. he's in a 10 gallon with a hideout, plant, and Cyprus mulch.

Also, there's a good chance it's not an ornate Not that it matters if it's a cute frog and you like it (that's what happened with mine) but the chain petstores have a bad habit of selling baby cranwellis as ornates.
