New Pacman

[GrifTheGreat]

I'm purchasing a new heat mat to tomorrow. I will locate this on the side of the tank. Hopefully this will sort it out.

Thanks griff much appreciated.

You're welcome.

Ok the new heater is on. The temp is already 25 ambient after only an hour of the heat mat being switch on.

How long do these guys stay buried for? He's been buried deep for a couple of days now. I would like to feed him but at the same time I don't want to disturb him.

They're nocturnal so you need to offer food at night. They need a 12 hour day/night cycle. So you'll need day time lights to be on at 8:00 am. Day lights go off and night lights come on at 8:00 pm. That is if you have night lights. When you're going to feed him just unburry his head so he can see and offer food. Then leave him be and check to see how many are in there in the morning. Offer around 5 or 6 small crickets for first feeding. Break the hind legs off the crickets though before you offer them so they're much easier to catch.

Great looking Pac.

Thanks,

I think the little guy is starting to settle in now. He's coming out at night and I'm sure he wasn't before.
he does spend a lot of his time soaking in his water bowl when he's out.

He certainly knows how to eat. He tends to show no interested in food what so ever. He doesn't even flinch. Then all of a suddend he just grabs the food. He grabs it that fast and viciously I nearly don't see it. He is one quick frog.

When he's a little more settled I'll try and get a couple of better pics. The ones at the top of the thread are not the best.

Hes a hard feller to find if I need to. He burrows so well I can't see him! Sounds a bit mad but the only way I can find him is by looking through the glass bottom.

Lol!!! They're good at staying hide.

Just a quick update.

My frog seems very happy, thanks for the advice it's been a great help.

I haven't really noticed any poo in the viv. Now this could be because he Burris very well but it could be because he hasn't taken a dump.

He is using his water bowl to soak most nights.

Im concerned that its likely the later. He seems to have gotten quite wide very quickly and I'm wondering if this is due to not having a poo. He seems very happy still eating like a pig.
Should I be doing anything or just letting nature take its course?
