New to Pacman

[Mentat]

Hello and welcome to FF! A small baby Pacman (imagine it is) requires daily feedings. First thing recommend to do is is to read this: http://www.frogforum.net/content/pac...-breeding-170/. Pacman's are easy to keep if you meet it's enclosure space, temperature, humidity, and substrate requirements (all in the article). If you have moss in enclosure (Petsmart uses it) do replace that with shredded coco (ExoTerra's Plantation Soil or Zoo Meds Eco Earth) and add some dechlorinated water until it clumps in your fist but does not drip.

Also, have a clean dechlorinated water dish (changed daily) that frog can soak in filled to frog's chin level.

Finally, get some calcium and vitamin powder supplement (recommend Repashy's or ReptoCal) and dust food 2x a week with CA and 1x week with vitamins on different days with a skip day in between. Other than that, gut load the crickets with chopped vegies and also offer earthworms (best food for them), can get night crawlers at pet shops or Walmart's sport section (ensure they have no additive dyes). Good luck and share pictures please !

Carlos has you covered.

Feeding Night Crawlers to a baby requires that you must cut appropriately sized pieces off of a worm starting at the tail(Night Crawlers are able to regenerate so no real harm done) depending on the length of your little guy/girl will determine the size of the chuncknof earthworm you offer. It is safe to offer a piece that is 1/2 to 3/4 the length of the frog and not thicker than the frog's mouth is wide. Crickets are fine, but variety is key to a healthy frog. You can offer treat feeders occationally like Waxworms, Hornworms, and once large enough prekilled frozen/thawed pinky and. fuzzy mice. Another good staple besides Night Crawlers and Crickets are Dubia Roaches(Blaptica dubia. I know what you're thinking ROACHES???!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!, but they are next best nutritional food aside from Night Crawlers. They are larger than the common Cockroach and do look very similar. They do not bite, fly,(even though the males have wings) or smell bad. They breed prolificly if you wish to start a colony and provide food for all stages of growth for the frog since the nymphs vary in size at each stage of their life cycle. They are easy to colonize but that is entrely up to you.

So welcome to Frog Forum and let us see some picture of you new little one

I have one question He/she is making a squeakily sound only happens at night after the lights goes off? what could that be. Does that mean that it is male.

That depends on how it sounds. If your frog is a baby and under 2.5" then you are most likely hearing the frog's feet rubing on the botyom of the enclosure as it tries to burrow deeper.
