Thread: Sample Feeding schedule and Poop?

    Default Sample Feeding schedule and Poop?

    Hi guys,

    I'm really new to this hobby so I'd appreciate any pointers I can get. I've just got a baby albino pacman, not sure if it's an ornata or cranwelli. The coin you see is about the size of a quarter. Reason I bought him was kinda also of a rescue; the pet shop that he was at was not exactly well educated in frog care, keeping him in only a tiny 5x5x5 tank (as pictured) and with no substrate, just water. Did speak to the owner about it and he actually packed the other baby he had into a proper exo-terra breeder tankwith ecoearth, so that was my good deed for the week.

    Currently own him for about a week, been feeding him about 5 small or 2 med crickets a day and a feeder guppy so far. He's been eating okay I guess as far as rescued stressed pets go. Very shy though.

    I'd like to know if anyone gives breaks in between feedings for their frogs to digest and how often does a pacman poop? Currently, I've only seen him take a small dump in his pool. Am slightly worried about impaction if any; I've read horror stories about it.

    that is a very pretty C. cranwelli! he doesn't look impacted at all. I'm so impressed that the owner of store did actually listen and took care of the other one, wow!
    there is no rule of how fast food goes through digestive system, some pass faster, some slower. if you see any big hard lumps on a right side that is sign of impaction.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Well, it did kinda help that I'm on relatively good terms with the owner, his place being the one I frequent for the past year to pick up supplies for my hamster.
    It was the first time he brought in any exotics, so I think he was learning as well. His other herps, a tokay and a leopard gecko seemed pretty well off. Just the 2 albino pacmans he brought in was in a slightly not so good condition. Hopefully the other froglet will find a home soon too!
    That pic is about a week old when I first got him though. I'll keep an eye out for any lumps. Will post a better pic of him tomorrow after I get back from office.

    Also, thanks for confirming my suspicions of being the owner of a C. Cranwelli!

    As all albinos are cranwellis, then you have a cranwelli
    No albinos can be ornate type.

    Now that I didn't know. Always thought there were Albinos of the Ornatas too. Thanks!

    The first two were prior to feeding, he had a medium cricket today. Then when I rinsed him off, he looked... out of proportion? Left seems collapsed.

    Is something wrong? I'm worried sick now.
