Pac man needs?

[Elliriyanna]

Its a 10 gallon ... it can be suitable for either ... flip it vertically for the tree frog and leave it normal for the pac man.

I am no stranger to supplements complicated diets etc. I have a dog with a sensitive stomach and issues keeping on weight, a cat who is overweight but picky, two turtles, Both need calcium, veggies, protein snacks. So keeping up with needs isnt very difficult for me

I would prefer something ... Less likely to escape lol. tree frogs are fast and that worries me. Aggressive eaters don't phase me, I am very careful about my fingers, I grew up with aggressive fish, tarantulas, a dog with temper issues. I am very aware of where my body is at all times.

How much do pacman frogs eat?

If they need high humidity why do I need a screen top? Cant I use a fish tank top with incandescent bulbs ... that would keep humidity and temp where they should be I think.

i know no amphibians like to or should usually be touched, but I know some animals require health checks regularly and such.

side note ... I do have a 20 long it will be upgraded to if needed.

Not frogs, but you might need vet if something will come up. With frogs ( and with any animal too) you need to look for it well being, if eats properly, looks good, no worries or check ups other vets right now would probably kill me lol well with cats/dogs you need vaccinations, but other then that.... Nope. They will also need dentals once in a very while, but that would be it.

Anyhow. Yes 10 gal would work for both, but a baby pacman you will need to minimize the space, 10 gal is too. I0 gal is too big for a baby, but ok for adult.

Pacman frogs can jump... Pretty high if want to, that is why screen top is a must, or aquarium top would work too. However most of these guys wouldnt want to move from their spot lol
Humidity gotta be 70-80%, best to keep at 75. You can set it up and play around to see what works to keep temps and humidity. Check care sheet here on a forum and of course feel free to ask as many questions as you feel like it

I have 3 vets ... one will see reptiles ... I am not sure about amphibians though. ( its a long story of WHY I have 3 vets lol)

It really sounds like a pac man would be best for me Super lazy lol and I at least get to spray it and watch it eat ( I learned early that sometimes just watching a predator eat is interesting, Not in a sick way, just feeder fish, or insects)

I am VERY careful with all my pets. You may call me paranoid actually. But its always better safe than sorry.

In reality ... How much do pacman frogs eat? And can they eat red wigglers? The kind without the nasty ooze.

Hey i love paranoid people..... Being such myself..... Or better lets call us cautious be better safe then sorry it is my kinda thing too!

feeder fish - nope, red wigglers - nope, mealworms/superworms - nope.

Their main diet should be nightcrawlers and dubia, both supplemented, 2xweek ca/vitd3, once a week multivitamins. As a treat once i a while hormworms, silkworms, mice ( no more then one a month)

lazy, yes that is a word, but some, like my male for example, take the definition of lazy to the whole new level. He prefers to open his mouth and wait for a food to be delivered.

as far as amount of food goes, they eat insane amounts of food while growing, but slow down as they mature.

[Elliriyanna]

Ok ... Well I only have access to nightcrawlers , Crickets and mealies and red wigglers ... i was really hoping for something that could eat the latter 3.

Is there another lazy frog that doesnt eat so much? lol. I can only get what petsmart has, they are all I have near me.

[Lija]

Nightcrawlers are the best! And they are sold in all fish bait stores, literally anywhere, including walmart.
crickets are ok while the guy is little, dubia - you can start colony for a constant free supply or just get it once in a while for variety.

Ill specify quantity. A baby pacman needs to eat every day and as much as it can eat once a day. That may be 5-10 crickets or a few pieces of nightcrawlers. Adults may eat once or a few times a week. Mine eat 2-3 nightcrawlers a week each, Sometimes a bit more, sometimes less.

[Elliriyanna]

Oh thats not awful.

I don't drive ... so getting anywhere is hard ... maybe starting a worm farm is a good idea.

why no red wigglers? they are good nutritionally and smaller so they would be good for the babies.

Dubia are not possible, boyfriend would NOT be ok with that.
