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,

For the one that wont go to the bathroom u could try a warm bath of about 80F for around 20 minutes and that may help. I have to do this around every week or 2 weeks for my Lillypad and it almost always works. She very rarely goes byherself, I actually found some the other day in her enclosure and I was so happy you would of thought its Christmas. l.o.l Sometimes it takes her abit longer then 20 mins but like I said it works. Give it a shot and I hope and helps.

monster, thankyou. gonna try that later today..

Thank you louis..

Lija, i am feeding the crickets with corn, is that okayy? or should i change to carrots?

[Lija]

Never tried corn, but it'll work, try to give carrots, lettuce, oranges, variety.

Also sorry, reread your first post just now... Am I reading it correctly.?You are feeding every 2 days 2 crickets each?
if that's so...
That's a reason of not pooping, not enough poop warm bath usually helps them go, water level no higher then frogs chin, that's another reason of having natural environment and water dish in the enclosure. A frog will go to soak when it feels the need, either to poop or help with shed or just to get soaked. I do water baths for mine every 2 weeks.

based on a pics i see absolutely nothing wrong with a neither frog, not pooping albino looks okay, he is not bloated, meaning no impaction here, but you gotta fix the feeding - give every day as much as they can eat at once. It will probably be about 10-15 crickets at least. Try to find different food sources and fix the cages and you and your frogs will be just fine. you can give a pinky mice, One to each, i bet they'll be very happy.

I think "nightcrawler" is an earthworm.

Night crawlers are a popular earthworm used mostly for fishing. More info in here: Earthworm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .
