Alright, so I'm going to an expo febuary 2nd, and i was thinking about a pacman frog. I've kept reptiles since i was a little kid (now a teen), and with all of them thriving (my axolotls even bred....), I was thinking about a pacman frog? I love pacmans, and i know what to expect from one (a frog who does not move much, but is very pretty and eats a lot). I've got tonnes of extra aquariums, tubs, exo-terras, etc. So, of course, I'm doing a little research before hand, and I've got a few questions....
1) Are fantasy frogs hardy? I heard the red ones tend to die for some reason.
2) Are any morph frog healthy? I've also heard that some of the morphs tend to die for some reason, as well.
3) What substrate do i use? I know not to use sphagnum moss because of impaction risk, and for salamanders certain substrates are not used because of their ph values... wondered if the same went for frogs? I was thinking coir of paper towel, could someone give pros and cons of each of them?
4) Where to buy? I don't know of any breeders in my area, but i am going to an expo feb 2nd. Was wondering if there were any "warning signs" Not to buy (aside from lethargy, cloudy eyes, obvious injuries, etc)
5) Food? I feed my axolotls and my salamanders earthworms, as these are considered the ideal food for caudates, and i was wondering if they were perfect for frogs, too?
6) How fat should it be? The ones i see are all really fat, and i was wondering if there was a healthy limit to the size of the frog, or if i could just let it eat and eat and eat? Or if i need to feed at least x ammount of food? Basically, how much should i feed it and how often?
Thank you for your time,
