Pacman food?

[trd1215]

Got the pacman food but he spits it out... maybe doesnt like it yet.

Sometimes theyd ont like it at first cause its a weird thing for them but they get used to it. Just make it a bit stickier and they wont be able to spit it out. After the first few feedings you wont have to do that.

Yeah my baby Cornuta initially spitted it back out the first time, and refused to eat it again during that feeding session. So, the next day I first fed it something it likes (a piece of nightcrawler), then after the nightcrawler was swallowed, I fed it samurai pacman food and the frog took it without thinking (probably thinking it's another piece of nightcrawler). Basically, that's how I would introduce samurai pacman food to your frogs.

I also have a WC juvenile western toad, and the toad, being a wildlife, is pretty skittish with food. I was able to feed it samurai pacman food by making it into a shape of fat wax worm and throw it in front of the toad. After 6-7 attempts the toad took it cuz most frogs can't resist eating things thrown in front of their face.

They each have individual likes and dislikes about food. Most Pacs love pacman food, but sometimes they are hesitant about it initially. Usually once they actually eat a piece, they like it. You might have to get a little sneaky though! You can do what Namio said and offer a worm and then the pacman food. That usually works. I have also wrapped a little piece of pacman food around the worm. That worked too. :-)

I've been thinking to get some of pac food too, but the shipping is expensive to Canada. I've been thinking to get may be 2 packages for the same shipping. how long 14oz would last if to feed it as a staple? just to get an idea, currently the baby is 1.5', so won't eat much yet.

If yor frog is 1.5 inches it will need to eat it at least two to three times a week. One four ounce bag would last 3-4 months if this were the absolute only thing you fed to your frog, longer if you use other foods (recommended). It doesnt come in 14oz bags does it?

Ra, the baby grew from 1' that it was at the end of August and now he/she is over 3' already scary growth rate eats pacman food like there's no tomorrow, I'm alternating, one feeding nightcrawlers, another pacman food, 2 bags that I got will last long.

yeah i made a mistake, the biggest bag is 4oz.

I just bought the larger bag for my little frogger. Now I patiently wait for it to ship from Japan. *Sits and waits by mailbox*

you know what's funny, apparently cats love pacman food too i made a few balls yesterday, gave one to a frog and one of my cats stole the other one and ate

Hi: I just got two of the 4 oz. pacs in the mail and the return address was Anaheim, CA.....The postage was $ 3.14..I'm in Fort Smith, Akansas, which is right on the border of Oklahoma, so it's not really all that far...I recall one forumite saying it was going to cost $15.00 to ship to Cananda?......I'd like to know WHY?
Anyway, the food came in about 10 days.

Good luck, I'm still trying to find data on the long term effects of the food.
