Thats true with Pacmans? I know thats what they say to do with Geckos but Paans are built to eat larger items. The distance between the eyes is only about a qaurter the size of a pacmans mouth! I was looking at a post that was made on this forum a while back regarding the stomach content of a pacman. Something like 85%was large prey items. (Amphibians, mammals) Small insects made up a very small percentage of their natural diet

Hi there, I think the post you were referring to was the one I posted about the natural diet of Surinam horned frog, Ceratophrys cornuta, which I believe that particular species eats more vertebrate prey than most other members of the same genus.

Soft-bodied insects (crickets) and earthworms with supplement dusting can make an appropriate and staple diet for ornate, cranwelli, and other common horned frogs on the market.

Field reports have started to show that most Horned Frogs eat other frogs in the wild, with one report describing a female Cranwelli eating two different species of frog with 10 minutes while the female was amplexed by a male, they then went off into the pond to breed. I'm fairly certain these larged mouthed frogs will eat anything that moves in the wild, but most commonly other frogs.

This is nearly 100% true. Not only will the eat anything that moves, but they will eat just about anything they can fit in your mouths and some thing that won't.

I agreed with you completely, Ra, but I'm kinda confused with your response. I was not saying that horned frogs species other than Cornuta don't eat vertebrate preys in the wild. Of course they do, just less in proportion to Cornuta. Because Cornuta has by far the biggest mouth (1.6 times of its SVL) of all Ceratophrys spp. so it is reasonable to assume those big mouths (Lol!) eat more vertebrate preys (aka bigger preys) than other horned frog species.

This is nearly 100% true. Not only will the eat anything that moves, but they will eat just about anything they can fit in your mouths and some thing that won't.

Yup, that sounds exactly like what most frogs do.
