Hi, if your frog is just a baby I would recommend feeding every night for the first couple months because he will need the food because these grow extremely fast. He will eat every night for you to, you might get the odd the night he may not want to but the majority of the time I bet he will eat. For the Vitamins I use to do Monday and Friday calcium&d3 and Wednesday multivitamin. Tues, thur, Saturday and sunday he got fed but no vitamins. I got the schedule from a thread posted by a moderator named Mentat and I can honestly say my Pacman frog is healthy as can be.
Please don't think I was saying you were under feeding because if that's how it seems I wasn't. I was just letting you know that if you did want to up the feedings that he would eat the food being given. I thought I would share the info because again this is what i followed and my guy/girl has grown at a rapid rate and is very healthy and thought i would share it with you. Sorry if you took it the wrong way because again that wasn't my intention for it to come off that way.
No no, I didn't take it in bad way at all
But, I discussed with an exotic vet in Paris, with the boss of the most famous pet store for reptiles and amphibians in Paris (who is a well known worlwide reptiles and amphibians specialist), they told me that one feeding per day is too much for a young pacman especially of you fullfill the "15mns rule" (Except for a little baby).
Mne is not a little bay, she is already 5cms long...She is an advanced juvenile I should say.
Concerning vitamin D3, I agree with you. I will increase a little bit the weekly quantity.
OH ok, I thought you took it the wrong way. And I didn't do the 15 mins because it took him awhile to get use to the tongs, I would give him 4 to 5 crickets with there back legs taken off so they couldn't jump away on him. As he grew I added a couple more crickets to feeding and then after trying over and over again with them he eventually got use to the tongs so now I just go by when he looks full, which is after a few nice night crawlers or what ever he hes getting that night. I find you can really tell by there actions when they are full.
What a beautiful baby!!
That's a green ornata all the way. Eye spots are a dead give away. I also think you have a male. Nice pickup
He is so cute! I really like his colors
Looks good. I'm fighting off buying a cornutas or joaz myself. I like your green ornate. I have a red, but looks wise I really like the green better. Definitely my most aggressive eater and fastest grower. I think she's pushing 4.5" now.
I made his new enclosure : Exo Terra 18"x18"x18" :
Global view :
=> Exo Terra 45x45x45
=> 10cms coco fiber
=> Big piece of wood and a wood bark (At the back on the right and left) to make him hide if he wants
=> Fake tropical plants
=> 75W heating cable with Lucky Reptile Thermocontrol Pro 2.
=> Exo Terra digital thermometer.
=> Reptifogger ZooMed which create fog during 15mns every 3 hours
=> Lighting with ReptiGlo Exo Terra 13W UVB5.0
Both sensors (The one of the Themocontrol Pro 2 and the one of the digital thermometer) :
And the last but not the least, "Graboule" who is waiting for food
True! One time my sister yelled so loud in response to stubbing her toe that my red-eyed tree frog who was silent at the time just chirped in response. What made it funny, was I didn't know that it was the red-eye at the time, so I asked her to scream again so I could tell! (She didn't though...)
I really like the green ornutas. Keep the updates coming
