Amazing, again! Growing Uber Fast!

Thanks Ivory for the updates on these little guys' progress!

Handsome creatures

All the best

Love the pics, and the updates.

I hope to try breeding them someday, and you're making me impatient, lol.

I am used to working to get our breeders in the mood and then waiting for them to drop eggs, then waiting even more for the eggs to hatch.
I promise you, if you do breed these guys, you won't have a chance to get impatient!!
The eggs were laid in the morning, started hatching that same afternoon and, well....you've seen the progression pics. We started this adventure on the 14th of July and less than a month later, we have froglets!

I am used to waiting at the least, 2 months after eggs for a hatching........and when we bred our Veiled Chameleons it took 8 months to start seeing a hatchling and took a month for all 56 eggs to be done! Now THAT took patience!!

Hey I was wandering what are you feeding your froglets? The little guy I just got seems to be afraid/uninterested in all the food items I have presented him with. Also how often do you feed your froglets? It could just be that my little guy is not hungry he had a rather large super worm the day I got him that he absolutely attacked. Basically, what I am asking is what would be an optimum food source for a pacman froglet that it would readily accept every time and how often should he get it? Ive never had a pacman froglet just sub adults

Try 2 to 3 small gut loaded & dusted crickets......maybe another super worm, or even small roaches. We offer them every day a food item, but they actually only eat every 2 to 3 days. We also offer them red wigglers and meal worms as well. We just found out that the tadpoles will readily eat the red wigglers.....they go all "Jaws" on them!
We have an outdoor pond that was loaded with Gulf Coast Toad Tadpoles that we fed to the Pacman Tadpoles......and I am wondering if the frog-lets would enjoy some of those frog-lets since they predate on them in the wild. We will try it and let ya'll know!

Be aware that it is quite common for adult frogs and toads to pass on parasites through the water when they lay their eggs. It is quite likely that at least some of those toad tadpoles were carrying some kind of (relatively harmless) internal parasite which could be passed on to your Pacman frogs.

My little Fantasy froglet is taking a while to get acclimated to the tank as well I was just worried he was not eating due to stress. If he is not buried in the ground he hops around frantically when I approach the terrarium. I just added some more plants to cover one side of the tank decently and a hollowed out log I found at the local pet store. This little guy is taking longer to settle in than my Cranwell did, I suppose it is just the Cornuta in him.

That may well be the issue Pacsack. We had an adult fantasy that would NOT eat if we were watching. We had to turn the entire enclosure so that she was in her hide with the back of it to us & the front of it to the wall in order for her to eat......and even then, she only ate at night.

They can be just a picky & fussy as any Human I have ever known.

I'm sure she will settle down, good luck to you!
