    Default Overfed?

    Hi all, today I fed my albino pacman twice with a cricket each. After feeding the second one, I noticed its right side of its belly was swollen!! Is it okay?
    Edit:I got better now, when i'm handling it, i can feel the whole cricket in its stomach!!! Is it okay?

    The bump on the right side is probably poop, no one can really say if your pac is too fat without seen ng a picture. But with only 2 crickets a feeding I doubt it, but he could probably stand to eat more. You can offer as many as he will eat in 10-15 mins
    2.0 Bombina orientalis
    1.0 Bufo americanus
    0.1.1 Ceratophrys cranwelli
    0.1 Xenopus laevis

    poop would be on a left side, but will start to form on a right, but after feeding what you feel on a right side is a food. DON'T touch it and let him be. Imagine, you just ate the best dinner of your life, you are full and happy but somebody is punching your stomach, would you be too happy, or would you rather digest in peace?

    how big is the frog? use 15 min rule as mentioned and feed suitable food ( roaches, nightcrawlers, crickets, pac food, hormworms). best staple - nightcrawlers and roaches, all other stuff gotta be in balance for variety.

    oh and yeah picture would be excellent for one we LOVE pictures here, but it would be also useful in order to reply to your questions.

    He'll be fine....I had the same "oh $hit moment about a month ago....lol I put my pacs in their water dish after every feeding and they stay regular. Just make sure you are providing a variety of staples as mentioned above. Can't beat the good old nightcrawlers if you ask me. :-)
