I've officially sworn off baby pacman frogs. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but despite regular cleanings, baths, water changes, temperature and humidity regulation, and using the proper supplements, I just can't seem to keep a baby alive. I honestly don't get it as I raised two from baby to adulthood with no problem. In fact my female recently passed at the ripe old age of 7 years. Something about pet store pacs though, the babies are so fragile, get so sick so easy, and I don't know, I'm just done raising pacs. Adults are hardier and have proven to do perfectly even in the worst conditions - my female survived a power outage in the dead of winter that lasted two weeks (we could see our breath IN the house x.x) for example.
Is there a place, preferably a reputable website/professional breeder, that has juveniles or adults for sale? This is proving hard to find. I don't want another hatchling, but I would like to have more of my favorite frog. My male is lonely - he hasn't chirped much since my female passed, so having an older one might be best anyway.
I am also not in the market for a frog at the moment per se, I am just doing homework for the future.
You would do better to buy a baby from a reputable breeder.
PM mikesfrogs or Mike's Phat Frogs
Or PM Ivoryreptiles
I agree fully, I purchased one baby from a petshop and two from a breeder, the difference was night and day. There is no reason not to go for a breeder, they often even sell them cheaper, atleast here in Belgium.
Thanks a bunch guys. It's just too saddening to get attached to this cute feisty little thing and then it just suddenly dies on you for no apparent reason one day...lost BOTH my babies today. I'll keep these breeders in mind for the future.
Sorry your two baby frogs died! If going with breeders as source, do recommend sterilizing all enclosures and frog tools before ordering any frogs. Good luck
!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Yeah trust me I know how it is with baby pet store frogs. I'm dealing with a sick froglet myself. Got it from petsmart.
