pacman frog morph ?

[Bynny Ribbit]

You have a lovely frog and I'm not sure of the specific morph, but I'm a little concerned about the lower jaw. Often times it only looks like that with a calcium deficiency. Did you plan on taking Packie in for an initial exam at a vet? It might be a good idea. For now, just be sure to dust her food with calcium powder with or without vitamin D3 depending on your lighting setup.

really? i had not noticed anything off with her jaw- but then again she is my first pacman.
unfortunately i am not packie's first home.
anyways she eats like a champ and even tries to swallow the tongs along with the food, her hold on them is strong, i was already dusting her food with calcium powder (with d3 she has no lights)

as for the vet.. it might be hard right now (mom had a knee surgery) but not impossible in the near future.

A sign of MBD in frogs can be an "underbite", or the bottom lip of the jaw sticking out. You usually see very little of the yellow in their mouth when it is closed, but thankfully Packie's case doesn't seem too bad. Judging from what you write, this likely occurred in her first home. It's great she's so enthusiastic about eating! However, it's still good to be cautious. MBD can be a slow, sneaky monster; an animal can still behave normally before it worsens and more worrying symptoms appear. As long as you keep dusting her food, she should be okay!

As for the vet, she is eating and behaving like a pacman should, so I wouldn't worry too much. In Packie's case, you would just want a vet to give her a look over and make sure she has good bone density.

EDIT: Also, I tried to do some digging for possible morphs and Underground Reptiles has a Lemon Albino that could be a possible match!

thats a relief, i'll be keeping an eye on her and dust her food. can you give exemples of what i should look for in more worrying symptoms?

because i think she has another mbd symptom... she does not use one of her front legs. its just always resting Under her, sometimes it looks like the leg is missing but.. its there Under her, it does not seem to stop her from moving since she changes spots in her terrarium. she just looks abit off balance when she moves

i looked at that leg because i was worried she might have hurt it but it looks exactly like her other front leg, its not crooked and feels just as firms as the one she does use. when you mentionned mbd it clicked that this might be the cause of her leg.

you can see how she holds herself here:

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear her leg is giving her trouble. Unfortunately, that can be another sign of MBD. Bones can become deformed or fractured from calcium deficiency, though since you said it felt firm, this may have occurred in the past and is hopefully only a lingering disfigurement. Here is a link with other signs of MBD: PetMD

Keep in mind that when you do take her to a vet, they might want to do blood tests or x-rays, so her bill might be hefty. If anything, hopefully they can just feel her bones to see how strong they are and maybe do a blood test just to be sure. Until then, just keep dusting her tasty food! Packie is very lucky she got an owner who cares so much.

I really hope its just lingering disfigurement, i dint have her for long but im already attached
I’ll keep dusting her food, had not planned to stop even if she did not have signs of mbd. I noticed she is not a huge fan of dusted crickets, but she won’t hesitate to eat a dusted earthworm. So im finding ways to sneak that calcium in her food.

her previous owner told us she ate 12 crickets and/or a big hornworm per week. (I plan to vary her diet more then that)

[Bynny Ribbit]

I don't think you have cause for worry, she sounds pretty lively from what you've written and the effects of MBD can be reversed through proper calcium supplementation when it hasn't gotten too severe. Do you know how old she is? Might be good to ask her previous owner just so you can get a good idea for feeding. Young frogs eat more than large frogs, there's a nice chart here which can be a great reference.

As for food, I would only recommend avoiding mealworms as they are very chitinous and can be a cause for impaction in younger frogs. I also know offhand that waxworms are pretty fattening (I've seen some people describe them as froggy donuts lol) so best limit those if you want to use them.
