    Default Tell me everything i need to know on pacman frogs please.

    Hey everyone, I'm new here and I have a few fish tanks and reptile tanks, no frogs yet though.

    I have some pacman frog questions.
    1. Is coconut husk a good substrate? Or is paper towels better?
    2. Can I feed mealworms when young, mice when the frog is bigger?
    3. Should I have a moist hide on the cool side of the tank, or a shallow water dish?
    4. Do I need a tank or can I keep it in something like this?

    5. Is a 10g tank good enough? i've heard pacman frogs get 8" but are LA-ZY.

    Any other basic info I should know? Thanks a ton, Joe.

    So mealworms and crickets with the occasional mouse? Do they need special lighting? Can I just dust their food with the same dust I use for my leopard gecko?

    I wouldn't use mealworms much. I'd use earthworms as a staple - much more complete food than crickets and harmless to the frog. Yes you can use the same dust.

    Ok, I got a tank today and will be going back to the petstore in a few days to get a pacman. They had an ornate and a brown. =) How many superworms should I feed and how many feedings per week?
