Starting and keeping pacmans on a worm and pinkie diet?...

[Mentat]

Hello Evan and welcome to FF . From reading your thread it appears to me you have not read the Pacman Care Article at forum (Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding) and recommend you do so. Also, be aware there is information, videos, etc. on the internet that could create health issues long term for your frog if followed.

If bugs (crickets, roaches, etc.) bother you lots; you can desensitize yourself slowly by starting with limited exposure actions, like just looking at them in store bins, and increasing exposure in steps until you can handle them with gloves and tweezers.

You can raise a Pacman on a diet of dusted Night Crawlers. If starting with a baby frog, can cut the worms around size of distance between frog eyes from worm pointy end. The worms will heal and survive until next use. Dust CA X 2 and vitamins X 1 weekly on different days with a skip day in between.

Fish are a source of parasites to your frogs. All pinced worms (waxworms, mealworms, etc.) are hard to digest due to their chitin exoskeleton. Also, they are high in fat and can hurt your frog digestive system with the pincers. Mice are hard to digest and high in fat. Even those that use rodents recommend limiting it to only one per month.
