    Default Pacman frog eating question!

    Hey everyone!

    My pacman frog has started eating frozen/thawed pinkies. He started eating them once every 5-7 days, but now hes to the point where hes eating one every 2-3 days.
    How many times a week should a pacman frog eat a pinky? When should i move to live little mice?





    Side question

    If anyone knows any info on feeding amazon milk frogs or any tree frog, please message me!
    Pacman frogs and tomato frogs just eat off the ground. But the milk frog wil be my first tree frog so i dont know how you feed them if they are always climbing around.





    Thank! Marty`~

    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.

    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.

    I just want to make sure I understand what your saying. Do you mean I will feed him one pink a month and feed him other stuff or I will feed him only one pinky each month?
