A week ago I got a pacman frog and have gotten him to eat feeder guppies, crickets, and earthwirms dusted with calcium powder.

Hello and congrats on your new frog. Here is a nice article about their care: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding. Recommend remove the moss because it is an impaction hazard. A better substrate is shredded coco (Plantation Soil or EcoEarth) mixed with dechlorinated water until slightly damp and clumps in fist without dripping water out.

Also, unless you are breeding and raising healthy parasite free guppies; feeding them to your frog is a risky food. Night Crawlers, Dubias and Crickets are better food items .

Thanks for the advice

I saw the nightcrawler moving around in the frog. Is that normal?

Nice little cranwelli. Looks like it needs some weight put on it. Be careful using moss. You don't want the frog to eat any.

Thanks. Im trying to get weight on him

Yes the worm will wiggle around a little.

If it's eating it's a good sign . Remember to keep insects size same as distance between frog's eyes. For earthworms, can cut those from pointy end, same as frog's length. You must use supplements to keep frog healthy, here is some info and schedules on subject: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

Cute frog

How do you heat the enclosure and what are the temps ?

[chaos91]

I dont heat it. The ambient air temp is enough

I dont mean to hijack this thread but I am still trying to figure out which end is pointier. Both ends of the nightcrawlers are pretty pointy. I have stopped cutting them up for my guys but still wonder about it when I take the worms out LOL

It's not hard to identify, if you have trouble, just drop one in front of you and watch wich way it moves, I do that myself sometimes.
