    Default Pacman Frog Tank size

    Hello,

    So I have an ornate pacman frog, which I believe is likely female..I've been calling her Tallulah.

    Anyway, I've had her for about a month now, and got her as a baby. She was a little bigger than a quarter, but now is a little over 3 inches STV.

    Up until a week ago, I've kept her in a 3 gallon beta tank. 3-4 inches of coco fiber, shallow water dish (with de-chlorinated water). Tank temps were maintained between 86-80. She was eating daily- a diet of nightcrawlers, locusts, freshly molted superworms, small fish and shrimp. I dust regularly with calcium and multivitamins.

    Anyway, she became quite a chunk based on this routine, so I moved her to a 10 gallon long..as the 3 gallon was too small for her.

    In this new tank, she has 3-4 inches microfiber, a larger water dish, some moss to help retain humidity (and because she likes burrowing under it), and a fake plant. I have her tank next to a CHE as to provide indirect, radient heat. With this, the temp is at 82-83 on the warm side, and 78-79 cool side. I mist regularly, and the top is partly covered in plexiglass to retain humidity.

    I think I'm doing okay with the setup, however..It took her about 4 days to calm down and settle into the substrate, and even after this, she isn't eating as much or as often now. She also requires some enticement.

    So my question is this; is the 10 gallon long too big for her? If so, I'll move her into a smaller tank. I just wanted to provide a better temperature gradient.

    I don't know why this picture is upside down, or why it won't let me remove it. So I apologize for that. Both of these pictures were taken prior to the tank switch.
