    That's what I start them off on and teach them to eat worms as they grow. He/she looks good. Now you just need to fatten him/her up.

    Well, i've heard that as baby it only needs 1-2 crickets and 2-3 babycrickets two-tree times at week, untill it's growing up...
    But i've heard too that i can just give it a baby-mouse/mice once in a week, even when it's a baby, is that true?

    No you cannot do that. No mice until your frog is 2 inches to 2.5 inches in length and no more than one mouse per month. Feed your baby everyday. 5 to 7 baby crickets and offer an extra one occasionally. If the frog is still hungry it will eat the extra. Break the hind legs off the crickets so they can't jump and are easier to catch.

    Hmm... i've read that pacmanfrogs are drinking or going into the water mostly in the night, is that true? because i got my frog monday, and i haven't seen him/her in the water yet. Is that normal?

    I'll add
    there is a 15 min rule- feed as much as they can eat for 15 min every day ( that is probably be those 5-7 baby crickets that Grif mentioned)and then eventually they will have a breaks of a day or 2, you'll see, but that will happen when they're way bigger then that little cutie you got here.


    and if I were you i'd order some pac food from samuraj they ship all over the world.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
