    Default Re: Need advice on proper setup for Pacman frog

    Humidity should be between 70-80%. Substrate should be mixed with dechlorinated tap water until damp and clumps in fist but does not drip water out. You can increase humidity by using aluminum foil to block off the screen mesh on enclosure top. Normally I just leave a 1 in. gap around the light fixture or so. Blocking top will also help keep heat in. For babies you want 82F and adults can handle 82-84F day temps. That can drop a few degrees at night. A digital thermometer and hygrometer should help you dial parameters right.

    Babies get fed once a day; usually 30 minutes after sunset or early in the morning. Continue that until frog reaches around 3 in and you notice a decreased feeding response. Then feed every other day. Continue so and adjust as required according to feeding response. A full grown can be fed every couple days. Night crawlers (not dyed) are the best food (available at Walmart and bait shops). Might need to cut from pointy end into mouth size chunks for babies and body length for juvies. At around 2.5 to 3 in. most Pacmans can handle whole ones. Crickets and roaches can be same size as distance between frogs eyes. Gut load crickets with carrots, lettuce, cherios and oats for 24 to 48 hours before feeding to frog. Do not feed mice more than once a month and avoid feeding large mammals in relation to frog's size. Dust food with CA/D3 and vitamins; here is a guide you can use: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

    Hope this helps debunk the conflicting information from unknowing pet shop employees or Youtube inexperts ! Here is some more good info for you to read:

    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
