    If you want to give him something new you can try some Canadian night crawlers, better for them then crickets and most pacmans love them. Just cut them to size for him, by now you may be able to cut them in half and that will be good enough. All 3 of mine gobble them up like spaghetti, only thing is these are better fed with tongs so they don't get covered in dirt and they don't just bury right away on the frog. Superworms and hornworms are more for treats then a staple diet, the supers are high in chitlin which will impact your frog and the hornworms have a lot of water and are high in fat. They are like donuts for frogs. I actually had to give my big girl a hornworm this morning to get her out of her water dish because she kept trying to bite me, ( a full mouth means she cant bite me) and when she bit down on it you should have seen all the juice come squirting out.

    I do look forward to when Cranwelli McNugget is large enough to eat a hornworm.

    I got the frog to eat a whole Pac Attack pellet last night. It started shedding, and one of the shedding behaviors is to open and close the mouth. I noticed this and placed a pellet in its mouth when it was open. Froggy immediately clamped down. No fuss, remarkable compared to my previous attempts.
    Took a while to swallow a pellet that size, way bigger than any food he's had before. Still did the shedding motions, but the pellet went on down. *GAHULP*
    Frog had a pellet shaped stomach afterwards. lol.
    I figure it'll take three days to sleep that one off.

    Woohoo!

    1-17 = 10.95g
    1-27 = 12.60g
    2-4 = 13.00g
    2-12 = 16.20g
    2-19 = 19.30g
    2-25 = 24.00g

    My pacman used to be able to expel all the air from its lungs and look relatively 'slim'. Perhaps he was not fed quite right at the pet store.

    But now, he's always looking quite chubby.

    I'm not certain, I think he might respond to Fat Boy Slim and other related stuff. Frog seems to be more active when some bass heavy rhythm music is playing.

    My frog should be big enough to dine on hornworms once tomato season starts. I plan on sending any tomato worm I see on my plants in his direction.

    I like these frogs too much; i'm going to end up with a bookcase of them if I'm not careful. It's very easy to take care of one. But i'll become the 'crazy frog person' if I don't watch it.

    I hope that me periodically updating an actual weekly graph of weight helps other newbie folks and is not generally annoying to the long timers.
