Surinam horned frog care?

[mynamesromaine]

So I got this little guy about a month ago. He seems to be doing fine. He eats whenever I give him food. ( started with crickets but now moved on to parts of night crawlers) anyways, I heard they were harder to care for, but not a specific reason why? Is his care the same as any other pacman frog, if so then he should be good as I've got another one who's been in my care for two years now and is doing great. Is the problem with them lie in them being finicky eaters?

I believe you would just keep them the same way as a any other pac. And yes I do believe of the hard to care for is the eating and I believe a lot of the time they are wild caught even though there is breeders that have CB now. Don't think there was as many breeders of these guys back in the day as other pacmans but I know now that there is CB breeders now forsure, kim at the frog ranch has CB cornutas( samurai). Do you know for sure it is CB or is it WC? And the thing that I heard that had a lot of people steering away from these guys is because when or if they are wild caught you think your frog is doing good and then one day you wake up to him dead or really sick due to something he carried in with him from outside. But like I said there is CB breeders and if you know your guy is CB and hes eating everything you will give him I would say I wouldn't worry, and enjoy your new frog. Hes very nice looking Cornuta.

I myself have not had a Cornuta but have heard the reason they can be harder to keep is with their feeding, as they mostly eat other frogs in the wild. A lot of them being wild caught doesn't help too, as some frogs just don't adjust well to captivity and stress can weaken their immune system, making them more vulnerable to coming down ill. You have yourself a beautiful frog there and I wish you the best with it

Bumping this thread as it pops up on Google searches for care of this species, and the replies contain some slight misinformation.
C. Cornuta is a tropical species and requires a higher humidity and temps than their cousins C. Cranwelli. Keep humidity around 70 to 90 percent and keep them consistently warmer, between 78 and 84 degrees F.
