Pacman frog eating question!

[sobo2gego]

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.

You can offer him more crickets if he will eat them. Night Crawlers are an excellent food for them if you can get him started on them.

Ive never tried worms, but if he eats a dead baby mouse, i dont see why he wouldnt eat a live worm.
What are the specifics on night crawlers? How many, times per week, feeding the worms, ect.



edit// Might be important to let everyone know hes not an adult yet.
Hes about 8 months old.

Feeding goes more by size. How large is the frog SVL(Snout to Vent Length)?

I dont know his exact size but hes 2-2.5 inches ( took a tape measure outside of the cage)
I went to petsmart today and got superworms, im pretty sure they're the same thing, they look the same. But needed to me sure.
I tried feeding one to my tomato frog 10 minutes ago and he ate it! So that awesome, hes been growing at the same exact rate as the pacman, so they're about the same size.
If anything, hes a half inch larger. So whatever you prefer to feed my pacman, ill do the same with my tomato. Thats if pacman eats the worms, i wont try until tomorrow due to the pinky situation.

Superworms and nightcrawlers are not the same thing. Nightcrawlers are soft and come refrigerated. The superworms can't be digested by pacmans

[sobo2gego]

Thanks for clearing that up, I did some research and its superworms/mealworms that are very close. Superworms are larger, and have a higher fat content.
I dont want to disagree but ive heard of plenty of people feeding their pacmans mealworms, and after plenty of reading, mealworms are almost the same thing as superworms, just not as fat. So im sure they can digest them, Its just harder to digest so people recommend nightcrawlers or wax worms like grif did above.

Ill go back to the store today and find some softer worms, I dont want to risk anything.

I was told wax worms, nightcrawlers,
