    You have received good advice and have lots of things to correct on your frogs enclosure. Need to separate those 2 unless you make that divider waterproof as Lija mentioned.

    A 5-6 month old Pacman should be almost adult sized, if not. From your description as babies, yours are far from that and it's not good. Please get some night crawlers (Walmart's sport section) and add them to your frogs diet and do read this article as soon as you can: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding . Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Thanks everyone, i am really appreciative of all your responses because i couldnt find ANYTHING regarding this on the www.
    I have taken all of this into consideration.
    I will change the substrate once a mo from now on, and i went to a pet store to be sure the kind i had was safe for frogs also. The divider WAS waterproofed so that nothing at all could move from side to side, but i have separated the frogs completely, the bigger green "girl" is now in the larger tank and i have quarantined little mister albino to a smaller but also suitable enclosure. Added moss to the mix because i figured theyd like to have both to chill out in. I have a heating pad between both tanks keeping them both warm. Getting a thermometer very soon, same for the hygrometer. Instead of going out and getting spring water i just bought that stuff that makes tap water safe.
    Yes i will be using different worms that are safe more often. I use a calcium powder and i was urged not to use any others (and only do it every other feeding as i was advised before), but if there are more i should know about let me know. I am afraid of overfeeding them so i let them eat as much as they want to without overdoing it, but the only one who would overdo it is the green baby. These are also large crickets. Not the teeny little ones, so i dont think im starving them? Theyre plump frogs haha.
    As for their sizes, the only one who seems stunted (or just a boy) is the albino. The girl one has grown probably 3x her size since i got her. She now has the larger tank to herself.
    Let me clear these two things up lol: when i say "babies" i mean they are like my children, not actually baby sized. And when i said albino was anti-social, i was saying that how he has been acting lately is not "himself." I know they really dont do much at all.
    Also did the honey detox, it was pretty cool. I had them in that water outside while i was redoing their tanks.
    If anyone else has any ideas i am open to them. I actually got all my info from a site that wasnt here. I shouldve come here first thing haha

    i think i should have been more clear and yeah i hear you, there are so many information out there and a lot of people in a pet stores who pretend they know what they're doing.... we're getting here very angry once in a while after someone posting something what pet stores advised
    anyhow
    look, you need to get eco earth by zoomed or plantation soil by exo terra, expand with treated tap or spring water, take out all bigger pieces and use it for substrate. don't mix any moss in it, moss if ingested can cause impaction that i don't think you want to risk.
    supplements- you need to use ca/vitd3 powder 2xweek and once a week multivitamin powder, but not on a same day.
    would you have any pics of a frogs? what is their size exactly?
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I hear d3 is not safe to use unless they are in the sun? Or else they get too much? Ill go measure them. And the moss i use is fluker's sphagnum moss. This isnt good for them? If not i will take it out but i have seen it in many a pacman house before. I did use treated tap to expand the substrate this time around.

    He is 2.5 inches front to back, 2 in side to side. He was quite a bit teenier when i first got him, he was pretty much 75% mouth. Same with the girl but she was even smaller. I made a mistake in telling you guys that they were that old, i went back on instagram tothe first day i had popcorn(albino) and it was three months ago....boy was i off. To me this means green girl has definitely surpassed albino growth wise so far. So seeing as i got them each about 3mo ago(idk why it feels like longer), they might not be any older than four months.

    treated tap - that is what you need, good job on that.
    take moss out,
    2.5" is too small at 5-6month and is an a smaller side for a 4month old male.
    you need to get ca/vitd3 combo and separate multivitamins.

    to summarize - for a start- change environment, get gauges ( digital are more accurate). that would be a first step. the next would be to feed them more often, for 2.5" frog go every day and at this age I'd say as much as it can eat at a time, better food and with proper supplements.
    i suggest to get reptiboost and give it to both according to the instructions.

    Moss taken out. Tomorrow i will purchase meters and more supplements. Do you have any suggestions as to how to get him to eat more? Like i said he takes a few days just to eat 5-6 crickets. Green frog eats that in 2 mins.
