Ceratophrys Aurita on FedEx truck for delivery today!

Congrats on your new addition! She/he looks almost identical to the one I have.

As Grif said, they can be feisty, so be careful. When I first got my little aurita, she got defensive / angry and starting hopping around and vocalizing. In all the pacman frogs I've gotten ... even my ornates ... I've never had one vocalize like that. I call her my crazy green frog. But, she's not acted like that again, although I've been very careful and slow when picking her up. I have seen her start act defensively (raise up on her hind quarters) but nothing else.

About feeding nightcrawlers -- I still have to take this little one out of her critter keeper and put it in a clean, lightly misted container. I cut off a chunk of nightcrawler, quickly dip it into a supplement, and then offer it to the frog -- usually, I have to drop the worm piece and she will eat it if it moves enough.

12 hrs since she arrived.
She took a nice poop about 4 hrs after she got her.
Got her moved into her new home for the next few weeks tonight.
She ate a cricket (still one in there) and has now dug down a bit.

Nice frog !!!

Looks like she may have moved around a bit last night but
has burrowed in about the same place as before I went to bed.
Still one cricket in there (ate one). I will likely take it out later today
and get her some crawlers (PetSmart was getting fresh ones today)

Really looking forward to moving her into her new home possibly in the next couple weeks but
if not next mth or two for sure.

If you recieved this frog from Strickly Reptiles then it will eat for you from tongs. This is an easier way to keep track of what it eats.

I just put in the two crickets as she just got here yesterday and figured it could not hurt and I wanted to leave her alone as much as possible.
To be honest I was surprised when one was gone when I looked later on.

I tried feeding a cricket off the tongs with no luck this AM.
I got some night crawlers as Id rather have it's diet more worms
I am going to try tong feeding 1/2 of one in a bit (if not will they go for worms left in the tank or no point in leaving one in)

When I asked Jeanne how they were fed, tongs? She said no, they would just place a few crickets in the habitat.

I just can't help but feel it will be more comfortable when I get put it in its big home as there are very good spots for it
to hide and also feel protected from all sides (2/3 tree limb tunnel) a couple artificial plants and I also feel I will better be able to keep it warm. I just don't think this hermit crab uth (on the side) does a good enough of a job
