Some Pacman Frog Questions

To keep your humidity up, you'll either need to go in there and mist several times a day, or you can buy this reptifogger contraption that griff has mentioned frequently in other threads.

Also cover 3/4 of the screen top with Saran Wrap to hold heat and humidity in. 82° to 84° is too warm for a baby or juvenile. 80° to 82° is what you want for day time temps. 75° to 79° at night, but hover around 78°

A Reptifogger hooked up to a timer to kick it on and off throughout the day works great for humidity which should be 75% to 80%. 80% being the ideal level.

Okay I have the top cover half way already and I was already intending to clean and clean well the cage. How much is the reptifogger? Now about the cleaning, I clean my Tree Frogs cage completely once a month (spot clean daily), should I do the same with a Pacman Frog or do I need to completely change the cage once every 2 weeks (twice a month)?

Zoo Med Reptifoggers are usually $60.00 at a pet store, but if I were you if look them up on Amazon.com for a better deal.

You can make a fogger for about $45 and this one hold over a gallon, so you dont have to refill it every other day. I made one and use it at my work, like grif said on a timer, and it works great and I only have to fill it every week and a half to two weeks. Here is the link to the video hope it helps

Another question I want to ask is about wild caught locusts (grass hoppers). There are hundreds running/hopping around in my backyard, I catch them for my Tree Frogs (wild caught) and they eat them and are healthy. Would it be okay if I caught and gave one or two to the Pacman Frog I'm getting soon or would it be unsafe?

Its best to stay away from wild caught food, but as long as they're caught in a chemical and fertilizer free area they should be fine, BUT there is the threat of parasites like pinworms and tapeworm. These are very good reasons to not use wild prey.
