I'm Back!

[Mentat]

After a stroke last year, I was forced to get my Pixie and Pacman frogs adopted locally and left forum for a while . I'm much better now and while visiting a local pet shop last week saw a couple of small cute Pacman's labeled as "Strawberry-Pineapples." Kept thinking about them; so on Sunday went ahead and set-up one of my small terrariums.

Today I went back and lucky me, they were still there. After attendant unburied and cleaned them up a bit, I chose the smaller (around 1 in.) one with the brighter colors. Her name is Fresita! Hope she is a female; if male that name is going to cause him troubles ! Just took pic with cell phone, will update in a few days once Fresita settles down and eats. Cool to be back in Frog Forum and care for a frog again !

Thanks for comments Lisa and Vince! Frogs are relaxing to me, at least compared to Flowerhorn Cichlids and Tarantulas i've kept. Pills are not too bad, just take 2 a day for the time being .

Thanks for comments Julio and Ornate! I'm lucky my Heart went into overdrive during ITA when brain sensed lack of Oxygen. Damages were limited to area of cerebellum dealing with balance (which I loose randomly) and have a little problem fumbling light items in hands at times too. So... we have to be careful I don't drop Fresita and then fall on top of frog ... just kidding .

Fresita is doing well! Frog already visited her water bowl and left me a present in the ramp. Poop looks good but will do a preventive de-worming in a week once she eats and settles down some more.

Fresita ate it's first meal at home last night; a nice CA dusted earthworm!

Fresita is growing fast; added 1 in. in 2 weeks (now 2.5 in. snout to vent). When I bought her there was a bigger one with more subdued colors. As Fresita grows, have noted her bright strawberry red has paled markedly.

To those that have kept these reddish albino strains; is that the norm? Wondering if feeding cricket carrots versus Repashy's Bug Burger will help intensify colors?

Currently feeding alternately night crawlers and crickets. Dusting 2X CA & 1X Multi-vitamins from Repashy weekly. Eats and hunts well. Tank is 12x12x12 cube kept at 80F and 80% humidity.
