New to frogs and have question about Pacmans

[Mentat]

I have to Argentine Pacmans, I have found a very simple set-up to suit them perfectly. I keep mine in plastic shoeboxes with holes melted into the top (i used a soldering iron) and paper towels as a substrate. I have a small bowl for water for my younger frog (the older one doesnt like sitting in water) and have an under tank heater. I place the boxes on top of each other and switch them out regularly, and I feed them superworms, mealworms, waxworms, crickets, goldfish, spiders, and any other live pest i find in or on my house :P . I trained them to eat from my hand, so they are very easy to feed.....and very fat lol. anyway, my advice is: stay simple, more decor is more work and your frogs dont care for fancy decor as long as they can dig and they also dont care to be disturbed much when your cleaning your tanks stuff. These frogs are the coolest, most interesting, most beautiful frogs ever! (says me) they make great pets.!

Hello and welcome to FF! Don't understand how do you keep Pacman's on paper towels with a source of heat underneath them and one of them without a water dish. What temperature and humidity parameters are maintained in the plastic shoeboxes?

Feeding your frogs a high fat diet (goldfish, superworms, mealworms, and waxworms) and pests you find in your house is not the healthiest nutrition for them. Here is some more info about their care: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding. Good luck .

Thanks for the helpful info, I hope you all don't mind but I have another question. Do these guys do better where there is little to no "traffic" like a bedroom area or will they be ok in an area like a living room, giving 3 sides of the tank is covered etc and usually fairly quiet. Sorry to be such a bother but trying to find what would be a good location for the perm. tank to be set up.

I would suggest the bedroom. All of mine are in my bedroom. I've recently recieved a frog from my friend, he was in her living room and doing poorly due to the high traffic. Offcourse all frogs are different, but it's better to be safe.

Thank you very much, really appreciate the help everyone is giving me.

the paper towels are always moist, the one without a water dish just doesnt like water for some reason (ive had it for three years) they are always at 80 degrees with 85% or so humidity.

The goldfish contain high levels of calcium, the waxworms fatten the frogs for breeding (i breed a lot of frogs) the mealworms and superworms are for variety i live in a clean, natural place, so the wild insects (crickets and grasshoppers) are pesticide free, the other "pests" are large ants, cabbage caterpillars, wild moths, earthworms, and sow bugs. btw, i breed my own goldfish so they are extra nourishing
