Feeding with mouse?

[Zlitni]

Hey. My pacmanfrog are about 10 months soon (maybe 12, because they said he were maybe about 2 month before I got him, but really not sure), but whatever... at least 10 months soon.... he's about 7-7,5 cm long (don't know the with, but he's relative round), and now I'm gonna feed him with a baby-mouse soon, I think...
Can he take a adult mouse, or should it absolutely be a baby-mouse?

By the way; I've heard that pacmanfrogs (when they're adults) needs 1 mouse a week, also about 4 mouse every month, and then nothing else. Someone says that they only must have maximum 2 mouse every month, because of the fat, and then some grasshoppers, crickets or whatever 1 time at the week.
Which one do I have to "follow"?

When you place a mouse in front of your Pacman it will try to eat it... same thing if you put your finger. That does not mean either one is a good choice for frog (or you ). You can raise a perfectly healthy Pacman without feeding it a single mouse in it's whole life .

Are mouses high in fat? Yes, compared to crickets and earthworms they are! Are they excellent nutrition for a frog? No they aren't! Can you feed your Pacman a mouse a week and nothing else? Yes, you can. Will frog develop fatty deposits in liver, circulatory system, etc. and eventually suffer a shortened life or a frog stroke ... only time will tell .

As Carlos says, plus because of the fat content blindness can also be caused. Dusted crix, locusts and the odd waxworm are my fellas diet.

You may feed your frog a mouse if it is appropriately sized on rare occasions some people say once a month is fine but i believe once every two months for that species is alright. give it a mouse it can easily handle. meaning, not to big because pacs will go after pray that is to large for them, they can eat themselves to death. what the other members have stated is true. But the problems that come from mice are when people staple their frogs on mice or feed to frequently. It just like you going to McDonalds and eating a super sized meal, every meal of every day for the rest of your life. Trust me you wont live long. but if you eat a super sized meal every great once in a while you can still maintain good health. although our digestive system and needs are much different than a frogs, and a cheeseburger has a different nutritional value of a mouse it is much the same idea. You can have a perfectly healthy frog without feeding mice as well as you can have a healthy frog feeding mice infrequently. Much does depend on the type of frog you are feeding to as well.

I got my baby packman just a few weeks ago and I have been feeding all crickets so far but
I got an order of Dubia nymphs on the way.
And plan on hopefully starting a colony.
I don't plan on feeding mice.
I have heard of another member here that makes his own packman food.
With small natural sausage casings stuffed with a combination of
Beef hart, a premium dry dog food, Crickets , Dubia roaches, Vitamin supplements.

I really like the sausage idea since my wife can't handle feeding live.
And I know 100% what I am feeding.

Thank you everyone... until now I only had feeding my frog with earthworms and grasshoppers... what about crickets, I had em in the start, but they could crawl out of my faunabox... what do you have your crickets in, that is safety, so they not crawling out in your appartment???

oh oh oh... and one more and last question: what about something from the supermarket, I think a beef, but I'm not sure which type of beef, if so... Louis Charles Bruckner beef heart, which type of beef could it else be???
