[Baloo]

1. 15 gallon 24"L x 12"W x 12" H
2. One
3. n/a (have the big apple two probe reader that's supposed to read humidity. But says external temp)
4. 23.6 c / 74.5 f (fluctuates by a degree or two, maybe cause fall is approaching)
5. DE chlorinated water. I use standard Halifax tap water and add EXO TERRA Aquatize Conditioner standard amount
6. Exo Terra Plantation Soil Substrate
7. Artificial plants, artificial cave
8. Crickets
9. Calcium & d3, 75% of time in start. About twice a week. Now 100% plus multi vitamin 2 or 3 times a week.
10. uvb 2.0
11. Under tank heater for 10-20 gallon aquarium on one side of enclosure.
12. Wednesday
13. yes
14. posting another two
15. Approx. 1 yr and maybe a 2 or so months
16. approx. 1 yr
17. I believe captive bred
18. crickets, horn worms, occasion pinky (1 or 2 spread out over 6 months) I just don't trust frozen much. They usually don't have much else but I'm looking into earth worms
19. two or three times a week for feeding purposes. Is comfortable when i hold him.

What is the frog's current length from snout to vent (SVL)?

3. n/a (have the big apple two probe reader that's supposed to read humidity. But says external temp)
You need to monitor humidity since too high or low can harm frog. ExoTerra's Digital Combo is very accurate and affordable (Check Amazon). You want it between 70-90% with 80% been optimal. The substrate should be barely damp (clumps in fist but does not drip water) and mixed with dechlorinated water.

4. 23.6 c / 74.5 f (fluctuates by a degree or two, maybe cause fall is approaching)
Temp is too low. Day temp should be 82-84F with a slight drop at night. A red lamp or ceramic heat emmiter controlled by dimmer, reosthat, or thermostat is recommended.

8. Crickets
Should be gut loaded with carrots, lettuce, and oats 24-48 hours before feeding. Add Canadian Night Crawlers to diet. Can cut them from pointy end, same lenght as frogs.

9. Calcium & d3, 75% of time in start. About twice a week. Now 100% plus multi vitamin 2 or 3 times a week.
This is dusting schedule I use: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html .

10. uvb 2.0
Pacman's do not need UVB. If used for observing, it's fine.

15. Approx. 1 yr and maybe a 2 or so months
See question no. 1.

19. two or three times a week for feeding purposes. Is comfortable when i hold him.
Make sure you wash hands and rinse them in dechlorinated water before handling.

21. water change every day or two. Soil change every 2 or 3 months a full change.
Change water dish daily even if it looks unused. Soil should be spot cleaned daily or as required and whole substrate replaced one a month.

Added comments and hope you can work on enclosure issues (Temp, humidity, substrate) ASAP. If need more information this is a good article: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding . Good luck !

1. Current length snout to vent: 2 1/4" 3. How do I get the temp up higher? I have the heat pad underneath which sometimes dries up the soil some. I've been talking to my room mate about putting it on the side instead. Would this help? I'll get a humidity gauge this weekend. 8. My crickets were gut loaded with Nature Zone Total Bites for over a year now I use a local Flukers Orange Cube Complete cricket diet. For a while I was using carrot sticks in their diet to, I'll go back to that. My plexiglass lids (fitted sheets) barely fit, I should have accounted for over lap. What should I do to avoid collapse? thank you for your tips!

Can you provide pics and tell us what kind of enclosure you are utilizing? If a regular 15 gal. tank; then get a screen top for it and a large Fluker's dome with built in dimmer and a 100-150W Ceramic Heat Emitter. Once you get all that, remove (or turn off) the heat pad. Cover the whole top with aluminum foil (tape to edges) and place the dome on it. Locate dome on top with an in. clearance from edge and trace it's outline in the foil with sharpie marker. Then use a scissor to cut the hole out around 1 in. from the traced circle. Then set everything on and turn dimmer around 1/4 way. Watch your thermometer and adjust the dimmer knob until you have the desired temperature. Once done, place that dimmer away from little hands and you are done.

As Dan stated, your frog appears stunted. That could be the partial result of too low temps. You do not need to buy humidifiers right now, just spray twice a day. You need to correct the low temperatures and if in you place, would invest in that first.

Fluker's Orange Cricket cubes have one of the worse feedback rate's I've seen in any product. Feed them fresh food listed in previous response instead.
