Is it safe to have moss in a pac man tank??

[chefrobert]

Hey everyone I just picked up a baby pacman today I will post some pics tomorrow. It was suggested for me to feed him small crickets a couple a day for 5 to 7 days. Is this correct?? I have a 5 gallon tank with coconut fiber on the bottom a big shallow water dish with only dechlorinated water and i have a heating pad and a uvb light. Should I also have some frog moss on top of the coconut fiber please advise me thanks.

Moss is an impaction risk if your Pacman feeds on it. Babies should eat daily all the food they can get in 10-15 min. or until satiation. Crickets should be around distance between eyes and dusted with CA 2x and vitamins 1x weekly on different days and with skip day in between. If frog is albino need to replace UVB light with red or black (moonlight type). Here is good info for you: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding. Good luck !

Hey thanks @ carlos. I took the moss out and The pacman is not albino.

Once you've tong-trained your pacman then it is quite safe to have mosses in your terrarium. However, it is not recommended to have mosses when you let your frog hunts in its enclosure.

I removed my moss as he used to take the moss in his mouth along with the cricket. I did cut the moss into small pieces to try that but i thought waste of time so just coco fibre in there now.
