Dusting/feces question about my pac.

[GrifTheGreat]

Burrowing is completely normal for these guys.

Heres mine in it's normal state.


Buried just so he can see out. LOL

They are ambush predators ( meaning that they hide and let the food come to them.)
Here is a good care sheet.

He looks very healthy his colors are nice and bright.
As far as #2 goes he might hide it from you or some like to go in their water dish

As far as feeding goes I would broaden his menu a bit.
Night crawler pices , dubia nymphs no bigger than the space in between his eyes.
Dusting in addition to gut loading the feeders (crickets and dubia ) are simple
I would gut load 100% of the time. and dust multivitamin every other day and calcium with D3 once a week by it self no multivite.
and when it gets above 2 inches SNV start giving pinky mice once a month. until adult hood and then rat pinkies every 2 months or so.
But night crawlers as a staple with dubia.

You have the supplement dosing backwards Lou. Its calcium D3 every other feeding and multivitamins once a week.

Not moving is OK, changing burying site is OK, actively trying to get out of enclosure is not OK and usually means stress.

Guess you read different doses because different people try different things. I dose growing babies CA/D3 2X and vitamins 1X weekly on different days with off day in between. For full grown adults, reduce CA dosage to half.

Ensure frog is not burying it's poop. If sure frog has not poop in over a week would give "honey bath" followed by "rinse bath."

Your frog is not fat. Feed it all the food it will consume in one sitting daily. Crickets should be no bigger than distance between frog's eyes. Also, get night crawlers at Walmart's sport section and alternate feeding them to frog. If too big can cut pieces from pointy end and they will heal. Good luck !

my normal regimen for my little Pep.

My wife will feed 5 to 6 large crickets a night when the lights go out. (when I am not home)
If I am home I will feed 1 large night crawler and any crickets or dubia nymphs he wants.
I Gut load my crickets with flukers calcium cricket feed. and carrots when I am home.
The Dubia gets a mix of cherios dried shrimp pellets as a staple and fresh citrus when I am home.

I dust the crickets and dubia twice a week with calcium WD3 and once a week multivitamin.
On sundays that I am home I spot clean his home and mean while let him soak in treated 80F water that has a towel over it
to help keep him calm.
9 times out of 10 he leaves a big present for me in his bath. No honey.

I am still not convinced yet that it is a male. No nuptial pads and no croaking.
and no noises when I handle it.

what happened to nightcrawlers in a fridge, did your wife get to them? lol

Carlos - for us it is a routine with my big girly, when I clean her tank. I'm trying to put everything exactly the way it was before even do her favorite hole for her and leaf exactly the angle it used to be, she always hates it, and go crazy for a few hours and very much actively trying to get out and get all over the walls so i need to clean it again. After she is done she goes back to her place, then you have to feed her or she goes crazy again. For her it is normal

Just goes to prove these frogs are individuals and have quirks and personalities unique to them.
