Help! Pacman Frog trouble!

[alane]

Sounds like a 'shed'.

They move their body bizarrely, what they are doing with their back legs is wiping themselves. They puff up their lungs and twirl their rear feet around their belly. A layer of skin comes off, moves forward and the frog eats it. That's why their mouth opens and closes. They are swallowing. Sometimes, the skin, if it's clean, is barely visible and it looks like the frog is spasming. Under a strong light, you should be able to see the skin slide forward when the frog makes certain moves.

He hasn't been moving constantly like that. I've only seen it shed once. Its only done that once and it spread its legs directly behind it, opened its mouth, closed its eyes, and made a click sound maybe 3 times. It lasted for about 4 seconds and he went back to normal but his legs are still out of place. He hasn't moved like that since.

Please post a picture.This sounds like your frog is shedding still!

I saw my Brazilian Horned frog shed skin come off of him in a water dish. No need to worry, your frog will shed as it grows. You can even place it in a water dish to ease shedding.

I am raising two Cornuta, one Fantasy & one Brazilian Horned frog (pacman).

Thanks for the help! I will watch for loose skin on my Pacman and see if he sheds more.
