frog getting fat

[lumpbump]

So Mr. Frogbody my sorta newish pacman is growing pretty nicely. Today he was out of his hole early for him so I thought id feed him a 2 day old pinky rat. One of my rat mommas had 12 so I figure id cull the runt and sure enough Mr. Frogbody gobbled it up like it was the first time he had been fed in his life. I have plenty of rats as my boa collection warrants I breed my own and am wondering if one appropriate sized rat per week would contain enough calcium for his growing needs or should I still dust his dubia with calcium every other feeding or could I just give him vitamin once a week? He is still a baby id size him snout to vent at 2 inches.

It's not advisable to feed a rodent to a Pacman more than twice a month. So, feeding a rat pinky every week would definitely be out of the question. Just continue to dust his dubia. Dubia are much more better for him.

Bad idea. Your frog will begin to develops health issues like clouded eyes due to a protein buildup in the frog's body. Also rodents contain a large amount if fat which will begin to cause obesity. You should only offer them no more than once a month. Blindness is not uncommon in obese Pacman frogs caused by rodents being fed to often and thus causing clouded eyes. Stick to the invert regimen and occasionally offer rodents.

Edit; Kitten beat me to it
