Need another perspective

Alright it has been a few months but I'm please to say this guy eats everyday. In fact he has been so hungry that he will occasionally chase the crickets around the tank. I'm beginning to feed in night crawlers, and dead pinkies as well.
I have read that pinkies should be given almost like a treat and only once a month while night crawlers are the best source of food for these guys. I also sprinkle both of them with Calcium. Is this good methods.

Once again thank you all for your opinions and ideas, I guess he just needed to trust me and settle in.

Actually you should dust every other feeding. with calcium and once a week with multivitamin but only dust the crickets with the multivitamin.
if you dust the worm it will go nuts and put out a lot of mucus and make a nasty mess.
because most of the minerals are in the form of salts. and putting salt on a worm is not a good thing.

yes pinkies are a great treat and once a month is a good guideline.
I think you are a off to a great start with your frog.
Please post pictures.

also it is a good idea to weigh your frog when you have it out to do the cleanings that way you can keep an eye on its general health.
you can get a inexpensive kitchen digital scale that will weigh in both oz and grams.
Grams is the easiest scale to use.
When I got my frog it was 17g and now that he is almost a year old he is almost over 200g

Louis, I understand that the salt reacts with the worm but does it matter if I can get Froakie to eat it. Also how do you know if they are full? I haven't tried to feed him more then a worm a day, a pinkie a day, or 4-5 crickets in a day but I'm assuming he has to be getting full after a good week and impressive increase in size. In the picture I uploaded he was very active over night and rearranged himself in the middle of the enclosure underneath my plant. He is burrowed in and I still was able to get him to swallow a worm.

If the frog will still eat it then ok.
Some times the extra mucus does put off some frogs.
But yours seems to be not that finicky.
Don't worry it won't over eat it will stop eating when it is full.
If the frog is greater than 3 inches STV it can eat a fuzzy but any older then the mouse is harder to digest.
I would limit pinkies and fuzzy's to once a month.
I would add dubia roaches to the menu.

What is your frog's snout to vent length (SVL) at the present?

Hey Carlos, he is 2.5 inches long and lately 2 inches in girth. Here's a cool video of me feeding him. One worm and he appears to be fool. I apologize about the quality but he only eats when its dark out.

At 2.5 in. a Pacman should handle the smaller (4 in. or less) night crawlers whole. Sorry can't see FB video; link crashed Chrome in my laptop. If frog is eating and growing; all is well !

The mucus won't harm the frog. It just makes the worms harder to grip with tongs. As for eating only at night or in the dark that is normal these frogs are nocturnal and are usually only active at night. Occationally you'll catch them changing burrows or bathing during the day, but to often.

Sounds like you've got a healthy frog.

Okay, Froakie has been doing great but has began to croak in early morning/late at night. I was trying to find good information on why he might be croaking and was wanting to open up to question to everyone on the forum. Have any of you had your pacman frog croak and if so is it an alarm or just a mating display?
