Substrate for a baby PAC

[donna w]

Hi all,

Ive had my PAC for quite a while now and I think I have caught the pacman bug

When I was out earlier I saw a great little albino. He was the last one left so I had to buy him.

This little guy is very small compared to my other PAC and I wondered if it is ok to keep him on Eco earth?
i would say he is smaller than a uk 50 pence piece.

Yes eco earth is good for Pacmans of all ages.

[donna w]

That's good then.
Just wanted to make sure he has what's best. Some reptiles need different substrate when young I didn't know if this was the same with amphibians

[Maharg]

Eco earth is very safe. You could also keep it on paper towels for the first couple weeks. Or transfer the little guy to a small container with paper towel for feeding. Eco earth has no impaction risk so I have never worried about it tho. Mine has been on eco earth since she was the size of a quarter.

You can also tong feed to reduce the amount t of eco earth accidently ingested

You've been given good advice here. All I have to add is that you should search through the soil thoroughly so you can pick out any debris that may be in the substrate that could cause a potential impaction.
