She will actively pursue a mouse giving her exercise . She gets humidified every day and lives in soft moss store bought not wild. i am no novice to raising reptiles or amphibians and my 50 gallon terrarium is large enough to house another one in there with a an easy way of keeping them separate with a simple modification to my tank but yet i can still allow them to communicate with each other and to coexist peacefully.I am not hurting my frog.shes a verey healthy large adult pacman frog that i raised form the size of a nickle.but ty for you opinion we are all entitled to them.
I have never heard of anyone gutloading feeders with what you are using, most people use fresh fruits and vegetables. Get your frog off moss, moss can be swallowed during feeding and lead to impaction, be it store bought or wild found. Mice aren't a good staple, So far I've only seen you talk about mice as food, what else do you feed? You are aware that a diet consisting of mostly mice is bad for your frog right? Because you seem to talk about feeding mice like you do it on a weekly basis.
I've owned my adult female for a year and a half+-, she has seen 5 mice in total since she was an adult, those 5 were fed on a montly basis and currently, I've decided to schedule 1 mouse once every 3-4 months.
If your feeding mice for the calcium, just dust other feeders, it's far more effective and easy to digest. Horned frogs eat rodents in the wild, but not as a staple.
Also, I've read you kept your pacman with american bullfrogs? Never mix different species, while it might go right once, maybe twice, it's an accident waiting to happen, and incase of pacmans, don't let them share a tank for the following reasons: They aren't group animals, even with a devider, frogs sitting near eachother can pass illness onto eachother, especially if you get a new frog. The only reason I kept my babies in a tank with a devider was because they are siblings, both from the same mother & father, purchased at exactly the same place and time. I would never buy a new pacman frog and risk it with putting them in a tank together.

Edit: Also, please don't brush off all the helpfull advice offerd by the people here, the reason why we are all here is to share our frogs with eachother and learn the right way to take care of them. The last person I saw brushing off advice on a different forum, ended up with a dead frog and I think that's something all of us want to prevent.
