weekend feeder for frog?

[brian c]

is there such a thing as a weekend feeder for a frog cuz i would buy one and sorry bout where this is but its for my poacman frog so...

Like an automated food dispenser? I can't think of any off the top of my head but you might be able to find something off google. Though in most cases if you're feeding live food I don't think it would be wise to have live food in some sort of dispensing unit. Bacteria and unhealthy things could gather in it.

No there is no such a thing, but not eating for 2 days he will be just fine if adult, if a baby once in a while 2 days off food is fine too. But you have to change water every day, so if you are leaving somewhere you gotta find someone to swing by and change water and make sure humidity/temps are fine.

oh ok because i was thinking about vacation we vacation for a bout a week and i think the next summer when i go on vacation i might be able to drop him off at petco and a gecko for the week but if i do and they allow it i am gonna tape a piece of paper that says DO NOT SALE THIS BELONGS TO BRIAN ON VACATION

[Ornate frog]

ANever drop him off at petco !!!! There the worst pet store ever have u seen what they do !!! Dont u have a friend that could look after them if u leave him with petco hes not gonna be alive when u return

[brian c]

oh really, thank you i never knew that and none of my friends live close by so i might be able to like hire a pet sitter if they will actually take him with them in their home and my gecko but now what about my fish?....

[Ornate frog]

In Pet stores they sell these fish blocks (fish food in a block form) i use them when I go on vacation

[limnologist]

I would imagine the frog (even if a juvenile) would be fine for at least a week as long as you gut loaded him before leaving. I do this when I go on vacations, but I also trained my frogs to eat from my hand, so it is much easier to feed them a large amount of food in a small amount of time.

I wouldn't risk hand feeding my frogs lol i like my fingers too much lol

Fish food blocks are for fish, not pacman frogs

What about feeding a mouse before leaving? That way you know he's good and stuffed. I'm fairly new to this, so not entirely sure how wise of an idea it is. But I've done it twice. Maybe someone else has some input on this?

Your frog can stay a week end without eating, even a juvenile.
Don't worry.
Just provide clean water before leaving. You can also remove the water bowl.
If the substrate is enough wet, that's ok.
