Adopted Albino Pacman Frog Help

[GrifTheGreat]

I second D's post but with a little extra info. While it is dangerous to offer adult mice because they can harm your frog the frog's skin while sensitive is tougher than most people think. If you ever have to give them an injection you'll discover this when you notice that the needle is having difficulty penetrating the skin. An adult mouse can and will hurt even adult frog since they can bite pretty hard and scratch. The scratching is really only bad around the eyes.

Mouse fur can and will impact the frog if your not careful. From now on when offering mice use pinky mice or fuzzies. An adult mouse will take about a week to digest.

They do occasionally sleep with their eyes closed. More than likely this is caused by you having the Light up on full blast. If you have a UTH on the side its should help maintain temps. 76° at night is fine, but keep it at 80° during the day. Having the light on full will also suck humidity out so keep an eye on it.

Thanks. You're right about the light drying up the moisture. I have to mist the tank every few hours or so. When I wake up in the morning or come home from work in the evening the humidity is sometimes in the 60's. Will being in the 60's for max 3 hours a day be okay? If not I'm not sure how to fix it. I have the light on full with a heating pad on the side. Has to be on all day to maintain correct temps. I have just the center of the lid exposed with a light and saran wrap on the edges as you instructed.

Should be ok if its only for a little part of the day. to raise humidity buy a Reptifogger or humidifier and hook it up to a timer to periodically turn on and off throughout the day and that should fix the humidity issue. Add a second heat pad for extra heat so the light digest have to be up that high. Should be fine then.

Some pictures of my Pacman as I cleaned her enclosure last night. She was being pretty aggressive so I didn't want to get too close. Does this mean she's hungry and ready to eat again? I fed her an adult mouse last Thursday November 1.

[GrifTheGreat]

She is probably hungry again.

She is probably hungry again.

Grif is right, it's been a week since, just don't do mice again, offer nighcrawlers, i'd say she would probably eat 5-6 of them.

I'm picking up some earthworms tomorrow and I was wondering how often I should feed her. I get twenty-five I think.. do I feed her a couple daily? Is twenty-five like a weeks worth of food? I fed her three horn-worms on Saturday and she gobbled them up like it was nothing. I just threw the worm on her face and she just swallowed them.

Also.. do I NEED to dig her up when I feed her? It seems like she keeps her head exposed watching for food to pass by.. I've fed her both ways but I just wanted to make sure if it matters.
