    Hello and welcome to FF! Lija helped you lot's; just wanted to give you feeding advice. Best food for Pacmans are not dyed night crawlers. Can get those at Walmart or a local bait shop. A 3 in. frog should handle whole ones; but you can cut the worm with scissors into frog length pieces from pointy end for smaller ones. Insects like crickets should be sized same as or smaller than distance between frog's eyes and gut loaded with carrots, lettuce, and cherios cereal 24-48 hours before feeding frog. Feed early evening and remove any uneaten crickets in the morning after. Keeping the substrate depth same as frog's height will prevent it from burying too deeply and provide for better monitoring. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Great! I haven't gotten worms yet but will try as soon as I get chance. And thank you for the feeding advice for what time of the day- Tonight, I thought I will coat the criekts with Calcium powder and give them to him. I still have some more baby/young crickets that I am feeding orange foods. Let me know if i have anything else keep in mind!
