newbie looking for help

Hey slow down the horses.. These were measurements in cm... For my US friend.. You know... Metric system... Cm lol

anyhow the tank is just fine, that is about 12"x12" footprint, well a bit bigger then that, may be 13x13. I wouldn't jump into edema diagnosis either. or doing anything drastic.
i would def. change the foam and get fine coconut fibre. Mineral water not sure. In Europe definition of mineral water is different from US, and it's possible in Indonesia it's different from either. Let's refraze the question - would you use that water for a fish tank?

To confirm what I think is going on, a pic of that thumb the way I described needed

edit. Sry I wasn't clear enough earlier. Picture of the thumb, not the thumb lol pic of the front leg will do too. Im looking for a big dark mole looking thing on the inside of the thumbs.

for a fish tank. yeah. definitely
we used this 'mineral' water for drink. so fish tank is obviously okay
can you also show me an example of this 'thumb' picture?

pic 1 2 3 : Albino

Pic 4 5 : Strawberry

i can see some black spot on my strawberry pacman, but i couldnt find one in the albino.
is it something fatal / dangerous? how can i cure this??
is it the reason why their mouth swollen and not pooping at all for 2 weeks (for the albino)

Thankyou

No, the black spot means that frog is a boy, that dark mole looking thing is a nuptial pad that a frog uses to hold on to a female during the breeding. The swollen part under the chin is a vocal sack. My boy uses his as a pillow, it's always out lol yours should call too. Try to play YouTube videos of Pacman frogs calling, yours should respond.
That is perfectly normal.

Now for the pooping situation. You feed only crickets, is that right? Are there other feeders available? Nightcrawlers/earthworms? Roaches?

[ronaldo97]

god, and i have been so worried..
that means the strawberry is a boy, and the albino is a girl?
the albino got swollen too.. is it also normal?

there will always be house roach, not that i recommend it tho..
nightcrawler and earthworms.. i never saw it here.. there is silkworm tho.. but i heard its not really good for pacman.
the first 2/3 weeks they got here, both of them pooped normally, maybe only 1 day gap between them
albino stopped pooping suddenly. i dont know why.. the strawberry still pooped tho..

How big is albino exactly?

The best diet for pacman frogs is a mix of dubia roaches and nightcrawlers. There is also artificial diet, pacman food by samurai and hikari (?) pellets. Both are nutritious and are ok to use occasionally. Saying occasionally, because nobody has scientific proof of long term use exclusively.
Nightcrawlers have the best ca and p ratio, the easiest to digest too. Look if you can find them. They are usually sold in fish bait stores, look if you can find any, but make sure they're not dyed. Also mice ( no more then one a month), hornworms ( not many at a time). Crickets have close to none nutritious value, especially if not gut loaded, they are not enought for an adult/subadult frog. Some frogs even adults like crickets anyway... My very big pixie loves them for some reason too, but most frogs won't waste their energy for a prey this small.
This way no food =no poop. To add - with the same food intake some poop more often, some less often, it's normal. As well same is true for eating, some eat less, some more. It's ok too.

maybe 2 inch? see my first post, i got albino and strawberry with a coin. coin should be about 1 inch.
i will try to find those nightcrawler. what trouble me is that those 2 size is about the same, even tho strawberry is smaller in my opinion.
both eat at the same time, same numbers of cricket, yet the gap between their poop now is so long (2weeks without poop at all for albino)
they used to poop at the same time before (1 day gap)
should i make it 3 crickets every 2 days?
from your opinion, what happening to my frogs is okay? its not something dangerous or anything right?

Best Regards,
