First Frog

[Dimidiata]

Got this guy from a customer. She bought him from PetSmart and got bored of him pretty quick. I moved him in and he seems to be doing fine. He's been eating crickets and I've been dusting with calcium. He's been named Fenrir. His tank is in between a spotted python and a fish tank so I blocked the side glass out. I'm switching substrate when I get payed. Cocofiber is all I had on hand. I tong feed to prevent ingestion

Congrats on the new frog and welcome to the forum. I believe you got a 4 spot Cranwelli if you weren't sure exactly what type of pacman frog you have. Make sure you give him a multivitamin to, but don't give on the same day as the calcium unless its a product that has all the vitamins mixed together. Also does the calcium have D3 in it, if not you need one that has it because this is something the frog really needs.

Yup yup, he's on Calcium plus! Lil guy chows down. Thanks for the id

Aw, he's a cute little guy! The coco fiber you had on hand is perfect! Most people use coco fiber as the substrate for their pacmans, as well as other frogs. It has a low chance of impaction, and is pretty cheap. People usually replace it every 2 weeks or less. What were you thinking of picking up instead?

I was thinking of switching to eco Earth.

Eco Earth is just a brand name coco fiber actually. I personally have used 4+ brands. I find eco-earth is one of the best. I often have trouble finding it in stores though. I usually get exo-terra's plantation soil, since I can find at pet food express for 2.50 a brick. It's not quite as nice as eco earth imo, but my frogs don't seem to care either way
I've heard there are some really good deals online on Amazon and whatnot. The guy I bought my African Bullfrog from said he bought eco earth in bulk on Amazon at something like 1.90 a brick. Considering some retail stores will try to charge you 5-6$ a brick, that's pretty good savings.
