How much to feed pacmans?

[LauraS]

I couldn't find a ruler so I took a picture with a quarter for perspective.

Does he look to be of a good weight? His temps are 75-80. I'm not sure on humidity but the substrate is damp/wet and I'm misting everyday so I'm guessing it is good but I'll get a reading asap. He has a half log to hide under but nothing else. I had read about them eating fake plants and getting impacted so I had avoided that but I can certainly put some in. Maybe that was just a freak accident I read about.

I'd love your opinion on if he looks healthy or not. I got him from Petsmart so you never know (he was on totally dry substrate). They told me he hadn't been there long but that he had eaten for them.

Thanks for the help!

I'm from the UK so not sure what size would be but he looks like more of a juvenile, I'm not sure though so if he's under 2 inches I wouldn't feed him less than every other day. His weight right now is spot on so just adjust your feeding to maintain that. He is very healthy looking, much better than what mine looked like out of the store.

I'd always keep day time temps more to 80F especially for froglets.

He is probably right at the 2inch mark or just a hair under, I have an American quarter beside me and it measures a inch. So as Jasonm96 said you could feed him every other day but no less then that. Also as stated you want to get the temps up to at least the 80f mark and around 82f would be better but 80 isn't all that bad. You need to get a hygrometer because humidity is very important for his health and shedding. To answer the question about the roaches yes they can be used as a staple, and when purchasing your worms make sure they aren't dyed. A little thing I noticed from the picture is your little guy seems to have a small lump on his right side, if im correct watch to make sure he goes to bathroom because that could be a sign of impaction. If he doesn't end up going and you get concerned you can give a bath in some warm declorinated water no higher then his chin with a few drops of pure honey in it to help him go. Let him sit in here for about 20 mins then give him a normal bath with warm declorinated water to rinse the honey residue off. And IMO he looks ok to me. One last thing to help him settle in for you quicker if you haven't already did it is cover 3 sides of his enclosure and this will help him feel abit more secure.

Ok, I'll definitely up his temps and throw a hygrometer in there. I hadn't noticed a lump. I will definitely be watching to see if he goes to the bathroom. Silly question but is it easy to tell against all the coconut fiber? I haven't seen any waste from him yet.

There's a book I'd high recommend you get, it's a really good read and help you raise a nice big healthy frog. I've bought many other books and I can say they're all either out of date or just rubbish all together.

Ya when he poops you should be able to find it, there not small and they stink. When my adult female goes I can smell it as soon as I go downstairs. And its funny because this is only time she tries to get out of her enclosure, she cant even stand the smell of herself. L.O.L Also if you notice he has moved from his old burrowing site to a new one sometimes this is an indicator he has pooped in that hole.
