And One More Question.....

[Burra]

Thanks to both of you! I've had pacmans before, but there was NEVER the info available on them that there is now. I just want to give this guy the best chance I can since there is such a great place to ask here. Love this forum!

Ask me anything about Bearded Dragons if needed, I can help there! Frogs, still learning!

+1 on still learning.....when I'm done learning I should be dead....if not shoot me for the sake of others.

OK, here's my two cents on this growth issue. Lija as usual brings forth a great point by looking at what they do/tolerate in nature. My only conjecture is with WHAT we are feeding. This is my worry with the pac man food. Not trying to open a can of worms (or ash and veggie matter...yes, pun intended). But this stuff grows frogs FAST! Right? I don't think for a minute that it will kill your frog, but for the reasons brought to light by the OP, it is highly likely to significantly shorten your frogs life. Whole prey (what they would eat in nature) may not grow them as fast as pacman food, but I can report that your ceratophris will still grow very quickly. Its natural for them to do so in the wild. They have to beat the dry season and be large enough and have enough stored fat to last months for their first brumation period.

Not sure what you are feeding, but if its whole prey items as a staple (not mice, they can be detrimental as well if you over do it) then I would not worry about cutting back. Stick with moderation........but never in principal (sorry, the last part is a George Orwell reference...not frog related)

therefore the variety of good nutritional food items is a key!
in terms of pac food, i do think it needs to be in combination with other food items, not to be the main food item.
problem with pac food that there is not enough data to make any conclusions really, especially long term. It looks like it makes frogs grow fast, but genetics is a factor here too, so what is having more influence, pac food or may be genetics or may be both, environment factors such as husbandry will play certain role here.
