How to bath/soak a pacman?

[Manwell]

Can you tell me how you go about soaking the little ones? I'm happy to get him out (with cupped hands) but how shallow should the water be, is bottled water okay and what temperature?

Thank you

I use tap water with goldfish tap safe in luke warm water. I use an old plastic ice cream tub with holes in the lid. I only bath mine if he has not pooped in a while and add a few drops of hunny. They are better using their water bowls/tubs as bathing can stress them too much.

It's really simple, you fill the water untill underneath his chin. Not more, less is ok. If you doubt on how high the water should be, pour some in, drop the frog in and gently pour in some more. Only use treated water for this! I use tapwater with reptisafe myself.
The water should be lukewarm. If your frog is constipated, you can add 3 drops of honey to the bath.

yes, water no deeper than his chin, a little bit of honey, I use "Auatize" water chlorine solution -also massage the back of the legs, the squidgy parts at the side. This can help bowel movement of a constipated frog and helps with the removal of tough shedding skin too. My pacman appreciates me rubbing his back area if he needs to go to toilet!

Everyone has the basics covered for you. The only thing not covered is temp, it should be 80 degrees F.

That's brilliant thanks everyone, I don't want to stress him out BUT I still haven't found a poo so I think a little bath might be in order
