Right place, right time.

Well, my fiance and I went to our favorite mom and pop pet store to pick up a few things for our new addition we are getting next week and low and behold they just got this beauty in.



It was owned by a 10 year old little girl whom had taken amazingly good care of her animals. She traded it for a hedgehog. Very active and what I believe is a female, she snapped at the gal at the pet store. "She" is about 3.5 across and a good eater. I did have to educate the counter gal about feeding it fish, especially feeder gold fish. All in all it was a good day. I even got "her" at 50% off because the gal wanted "her" to go to a good home.

Is she a Cranwelli?

[NewFrogDude]

Change all instances of she to he. I walked in the room where he is and heard him calling.

Sorry to say, but if your frog is calling then its a boy. Both males and females can grunt, growl, hiss, bark, and make little clicking/popping sounds, but only males produce a call or croak. Other than when they're feeling threatened or when they dislike something they're quiet.

Nice find! Any name yet?

[NewFrogDude]

I havent decided on a name just yet. He was making a chirping, kind of like a baby duck sound. He was completely buried in the substrate. I wasn't sure what it was at first until I saw the substrate move.

Do you have anything under the substrate other than the bare glass? If not it could be his feet rubbing on the bottom of the tank which makes a squeaky sound that has been mistaken for chirping.

[NewFrogDude]

Nothing under the substrate, just the glass. However, he was completely covered but he wasn't that deep. I have coconut fiber about 3.5"-4" deep in the tank.

Three of mine Chirp all the time, I just love it!

Really, Oh well change of name me thinks, I did look for pads ages ago but dont get chance to see now.

Just get your frog out for a luke warm dechlorinated soak and check for nuptial during the bath. Should help you determine sex easily.

Update

Today was my new boys first feeding since bringing him home and boy did he eat. I didn't way to take him out and feed him in another box just yet so I tossed in 6 crickets and he, we be destroyed them, so I gave him a rather large night crawler and he effed that up as well. When I first got him he would burrow all the way under completely I think now that he figured out that I am going to be feeding him be now just sits on top of the substrate. He's happy as a clam.

So when should I feed him again. Tomorrow or should I wait till Friday

[Lija]

you wrote he is 3.5', is it right? then go with every 2-3 days feeding schedule.

[NewFrogDude]

That is just an approximation. A best guess if you will. Okay so I won't feed agiain until the weekend then.

[DeeDub]

question...my ornate and one of my cornuta will eat everyday if i offer it. Why wait? No argument here, just a frog noob wanting to know the logic.

Thanks in advance.

As long as we aren't letting them get obese I don't see why that can't be fed daily. But I'm a frog noob just the same so there's probably some reason I don't know about =p

It's ok to offer food daily, but don't over feed. They will normally stop when full. A 3.5" Pacman should be eating 10 to 12 adult crickets in a single feeding so you could offer more. You can offer food every other day if you are worried about over feeding, but many will eat everyday if you offer food. It is best to offer every other day to every 2 days for adults though depending on the size of the frog and how large of a meal.
