My first froggy =( Isn't eating!

[GrifTheGreat]

Grif I had him in a nano, but the issue was I couldn't get a heat pad small enough. so now he is in a 10 gallon.

You couldn't find a 4"x5" UTH??

Not in my local pet store. I may just have to order it. Save the tank for when he gets bigger. I felt like he needed to be warm fast so I moved him.

You'll need that smaller enclosure with the UTH quick. Only handle the frog when necessary. These are look, but don't touch type pets so limit handling. Cover 3 sides of the 10 gallon with some sort of background so the frog feels more secure. The UTH alone will not be able to warm the enclosure enough unless its farely warm in your home. Keep the frog away from A/C vents. Drafts can be very harmful. You must get a temp gauge and a hygrometer so you can know what temp and humidity level is within the enclosure. They should be placed on the back wall dead center of it 1" to 1 1/2" above the substrate for a good average climate reading. To help hold heat and humidity cover 3/4 of the screen top with Saran Wrap.

Do the same things I've said here to the smaller enclosure once you get it set up. Temp needs to be 80° to 82° during the day and 75° to 79° At night, but hover around 78°. Humidity should be 80%.

How long have you had your frog?

[Kanas]

Almost two weeks. I will order the stuff right now. What do you recommend I feed him/her, besides rodents? What should I do about lighting?

Post pics of your frog. No frog under 2.5" in length should be Fed rodents and once they reach adequate size feed small rodents and no more than once a month or so. Pinkies are the easiest to offer and the frog can digest them easier. Night Crawlers, crickets, or dubia roaches should be the staple foods. No mealworms or superworms. Their exoskeleton is made of a chitin that is difficult to digest and can cause impaction(severe constipation) which can lead to death. Treats should be small pinky mice, Hornworms, Silkworms, Samurai Pacman Food.

Feeding too many rodents can cause obesity, blindness, and overall health decline so offer them sparingly. The same goes for feeder fish.

Lighting if you want it depends on what kind of Pacman you have. What kind is yours?

[Kanas]

An albino pacman, if that is what your asking. I will try to upload pictures asap.

You can only use infrared bulbs for Albinos due to them being extra sensitive to bright lights. Buy a Fluker's 5.5" Clamp Lamp with dimmer. When buying the infrared bulb go no higher than 50 watts and no lower than 25 watts. Please note that lights will dry out the enclosure and lower humidity so you will need to mist more often, but you can buy a Zoo Med Reptifogger and hook it up to a timer to kick on and off throughout the day to maintain humidity levels.
