    Ok. You do not have any other food sources in the winter so you feed him squid and mussels.

    You say he has regurgitated from eating a meal that was too large.

    Is there anything wrong with him? Are you worried he is sick Yuri or are you just sharing an idea?

    Are you looking for another food source to be recommended for you?

    Grif. I know for sure there are earthworms available in Moskow. My cousin lives there and he goes fishing all the time

    Jury I think you better get worms - big earthworms that people are using for bait when they go fishing, that is better then what you are feeding.

    He has posted his entire feeding schedule from the time of purchase til today. I have no knowledge of this food supply being bad for the frog. So far the frog looks very healthy. It might be worth researching.

    Yeah a frog looks ok and lived for over a year now... Still this schedule or food sources dont look right to me. Seafood = big quantities of salt, but then he is not getting lots of it. His main diet is live frogs... I wont even go there.... It is bad on so many levels... I'm sorry I can't comprehend what might possibly be a reason of keeping a frog on a diet like that other then not knowing otherwise.

    Thank you friends for your attention to my post!
    My post - it's just information.
    Pacman (male, Ceratophrys cranwelli) with good health (and hopefully in the future).
    Yes, it's a little experiment that lasts 1.5 years.

    Feed summer - live frogs (easy to catch in the garden).
    Pacman - frog "Terminator" and adapted it for hunting frogs. Implies that the main prey in nature - it's frogs and other amphibians.

    Feed in the winter - Seafood (easy to buy), once a month, and it is "easy protein".
    Because of the dry autumn, has not had time to catch frogs and freeze for the winter.

    This animal does not participate in reproduction and loaded it with food does not make sense.
    I think the diet Pasman based on mice feed and forage insects more are unusual to this frog.

    The site is very much interesting information, I read with pleasure.
    Thank you.

    Hi Yury! Be careful feeding large prey or food amounts. If it starts rotting in digestive system can kill frog. Throwing up for frogs is dangerous too. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Summer - aft frog - a 1/2 length Pasman (no more), and digested in 1.5 weeks (before the appearance of feces).
    Winter - Seafood much longer, so less excrement (no "waste" because protein foods at 100%).

    Sometimes I add meat and bone meal (white).
