If I had to gamble, I would say yes but only as long as there is company to check on the frog on an hourly basis.
    why would you hand feed a pacman? I'm trying to imagine hand feeding my big ornate Ruby lol, i kinda think i like my fingers the way they are hourly checking on a frog sounds a bit like OCD.

    Grif got you covered. get hydrotherm plug it into heating and misting device, lights on a timer and all you need to do is to have someone to change water once and then you're back.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I have a couple I could hand feed. There have been many people hand feed a Pacman, but you would have to grain them really early to do so. It is unsanitary though.

    Yeah, human blood is pretty nasty microbially speaking. And that's most of what Trevor would be eating if I tried to hand-feed her


    Something that works well for older animals if they have to be left alone overnight, is having a second water dish to put in. I used to do this all the time with my snakes. Sometimes one of the dishes would be soiled by the time I got back, but never both.

    I know, it is dangerous , but I know some breeders where their frogs have actually become ill because of starvation, and when they were hand fed it was back to normal.
