    Default Pacman Diet Question

    I was rethinking the diet of my pacman frogs and I was wondering what you're supposed to feed really big pacmans or pixies and how often.
    Nightcrawlers are great but other than that, what's big enough? We have 7 and I personally don't have the time to sit there with tongs and put 30 mealworms one by one in front of their faces.
    Do they eat silkworms and other large caterpillars?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sarah

    One name, blaberus fusca. Actually any large insect is fine, if you have access to large silkworms I am sure they would be fine, the problem is silkworms tend to be delicate and therefore somewhat difficult to raise.

    I have seen at petco these giant locusts in a can. I have never bought one before but I have seen people feeding their pyxies and pacmans with these giant canned locusts.

    I was reading various articles and care-sheets on ornates and found an interesting stat regarding their diets in the wild:

    Ceratophrys ornata consumes primarily vertebrates; stomach content analysis of thirty-four specimens from Uruguay included 78.5% anurans, 11.7% passerine birds, 7.7% rodents, and 0.3% snakes, leaving only 1.8% as "other" (Basso 1990).

    Frozen frogs may not be such a bad idea...
