    Default Feeding and other questions

    Is a C.cranwelli a Pacman?

    I was thinking of getting a juvenile C.cranwelli and i dont know how much and often they should be fed.
    Do they need calcium with every feeding when they are juvenile? With or without d3? How about multivitamins?

    How high humidity do they require? i have 60-70...is that enough?

    Yes a Ceratophrys cranwelli is a Pacman Frog. They are the most common in the pet trade and fairly easy to care for.

    60% to 70% is ok, but you will want to try to maintaine 80% as it is more ideal. 60% is a little too low, but is ok occationally. You will also need to maintaine 80°F to 83°F during the day and 76°F to 79°F at night, but at night it is better to hover around 78°F if possible. They need a 12 hour day/night cycle too so be sure to have 12 hours or day and 12 hours of night.

    As for feeding you can feed a juvinile daily if you like or every other day. You'll want to dust with a calcium powder that contains D3 every other feeding and be sure to dust lightly. These are nocturnal frogs so you will want to feed them either really early in the morning before the sun comes out or right as the frog begins to emerge from it's burrow.

    Multivitamin powder once a week, but not at the same time in the same feeding as the calcium powder. Be sure that the multivitamin as Vitamin A converted into Beta-Carotene to prevent Vitamin A toxicity which can happen easily. Offer as much food as your frog will eat in 15 minutes to start with. Do not use Mealworms or Superworms because their chitin is indigestable and can cause an impaction(intestinal blockage) which can cause death. Earthworms, crickets, and Dubia Roaches are best for a staple diet. Mice should only be fed to your frog once a month and not offered until your frog reaches 2.5" SVL(Snout to Vent Length) and when offered they should be prekilled rodents. Only use pinky mice or fuzzies nothing larger for safety reasons.

    Another good source of food is Samurai Pacman Food, but you may have to train your frog to accept it as food.

    Thanks for your answerd so quickly
    I will try to increase the humidity in my terrarium.

    It´s illegal to feed with live mammals in Sweden so the pinky would be dead anyway .
