    Rosy red minnows or fathead minnows, commonly sold at the pet stores as a feeder fish are very very bad idea.
    they very often carry huge load of parasites, are very fattening, but most importantly contain big quantities of triaminase, feeding stuff like that will lead to triamine deficiency or short tongue syndrome. You dont want to deal with that.

    Frogs cant hate infrared light, they cant see it , blue light they can see and it might disturb them at night, it also dont provide much heat and is not useful overall for pacman frogs anyway.

    Nighcrawlers carry any fishing stores or department stores like walmart , people were saying they buy theirs at gas stations along with a beer lol.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Ok well quick update tried the rosy red minnows and Chubbs didn't give them a second glance oh well guess it's better Chubbs didn't go for them and as soon as I put them in his water bowl he went in and basically went to the bathroom never seen him do that usually goes in the eco earth well I'm not complaining I rather he do it in his water bowl easier to clean that way. I will keep calling places and see what other stores will sell them and I did set up the moon light and he seems to be ok with it he's not running away from it I have it on a dimmer so it's not full on and it seems to be helping with the temperature and humidity thanks for all of the help lately it seems the only thing I can find are crickets and mice for him can't find the night crawlers.

    I usually only use my blue daylight bulb during the early hours of the day where my room is still dark; I have Keropi on a 12/12hour light/dark cycle with a timer outlet switch.

    As for my Nightcrawlers, I buy them from Walmart. Several other forum goers have noted that they are excellent staple-diet food choice for Pacmans and have done reviews and commented on the safety and quality of the Nightcrawlers that Walmart sells in their hunting/fishing/camping section. I would imagine there is a Walmart somewhere down in Florida and a small cup of 18 worms is no more than $3 here in Ohio. A cup for me will last me a two weeks so long as I keep them refrigerated around 70"F or below. And while some Petsmarts associates will tell you blank and blank, or what's best for your pet; you honestly can't trust them on every bit of information.

    You need to literally take into consideration every factor that can possibly be associated with keeping your frog. Does the room the terrarium in get enough day/night hours? My room has black curtains and pure white blinds so throughout the day I will usually not get any natural light on my terrarium, so I use a dual lamp light to supply "natural" sunlight and at night, a infrared heating light.

    I've mentioned before, my room is very cold because my family runs A/C 24/7; this would cause the humidity in my tank to go bonkers, so I opted with a glass cover instead of a traditional nylon net mesh cover on top.
