    There's no reason to feed something that costs as much as a tarantula to a frog other than amusement. Which isn't a valid reason.

    Yeah Dan, I handle my tarantulas on ocassion, if the hairs would burn on contact, I'd have noticed. I also had a really foul mooded smithi that kept launching hairs at me, those burned alot.
    Sure, watching two predators battle it out can seem intresting. But in most cases, there is no winner. Especially when dealing with animals that are toxic, the pacman frog would most likely win, unless it's a goliath or a similar big one, but after eating, the pacman would succumb to the poison.
    I've once seen a video of a goliath battling a scorpion and I found it rather sickening.

    There is no reason to even consider feeding a tarantula to a horned frog. There are plenty of other feeders are safer, more nutritious, lower cost, and more readily available.

    I did see a video of a someone who put a tarantula and a pacman together for their own amusement. It was completely sickening and disturbing. The tarantula bit the frog's eyes repeatedly and the whole time the person kept tapping on the glass to try to aggravate the spider more. Thankfully that video was removed for animal cruelty. But having seen how badly it could end, I implore you not to even consider doing that.

    Why risk your frog and WHY HURT A TARANTULA!!! And if the spider bites the frog then its history.
