Pacmans shouldn't eat a pinkie more than twice a month and maybe not even that. One a month is good. Eating one every 2-3 is sure to get your frog impacted

That many pinkies can also cause liver failure because of the high fat content. Try nightcrawlers or crickets as a staple food. Live and f/t pinkies are really no different as far as being okay to feed, but there's no reason to do that if your frog will take pre-killed. It just causes a mouse to suffer unnecessarily, and there's no benefit for your frog. If anything, live prey is harder on the frog.
Your frog will develop serious health issues if you continue to feed it pinkies that often. Once a month is best. Your frog will develop the issues stated above and it will also begin to show signs of cloudy eye caused by too much protein intake. This kind of cloudy eye is irreversible and can cause the frog to go blind.
Use the feeders mentioned above.
Im very glad i posted this question, ill stop feeding him so much.
Ill feed him a pinky once a month if thats all it takes. Thanks guys!
He should definitely eat more than once a month, they were just saying not to feed pinkies more than once a month. Nightcrawlers and crickets should be the main food source as stated above.
Adult pacs can be fed 2-3 times a week and young pacs can be fed 5-7 times a week. You can feed a pinky no more than once a month. Crickets and earthworms should be the staple.
So pretty much keep doing what im doing and add in a pinky once a month. That will go for his whole life correct?
He eats 3-6 crickets 2-3 times a week, along with the tomato frog.
