    Default Feeding pinkies

    I was having an issue with my pac eating it's meal worms and crickets. I decided to try a small pinky that I picked up from a local pet store. He had no problem with eating it. My question is, how long should I wait to feed him again?

    You should feed him pinkies no more than once a month. The high fat content can cause liver failure and blindness.

    You can feed again in a day or two, but not a mouse. Try feeding nightcrawlers as a staple food (you may have to rub the worm on the frog's face at first to annoy him into biting it). Dubia roaches work well also.

    Thank you. I wasn't sure the 2-3 day feeding applied in this case bc the pinky is a bigger meal compared to crickets and meal worms. Also, I will try the night crawlers in place of the meal worms.

    Nightcrawlers are by far the best staple , and if introduced early enough your pacman will love them. My two (Fatty and Houdini) go crazy for them. They easily down between 2-5 at a time, they love them, even dusted. Pinky's/Fuzzies/Mice as tempting as it is, limit to once a month. Any more than that and you risk major health issues, along with your frog growing way fast and getting way too fat.
