The other major reason for their long standing popularity is the infatuation many people have with a frog that can consume a meal nearly as large as itself.
I've still not seen any aggression with mine, I'll admit that the conditions they were kept in seemed a bit dry. They did have something to burrow in , water dish , and a place to hide. Whats the difference between keeping a pacman frog in an all water small environment where he cant hop, hide , burrow or even dry out a bit if he likes. Kind of like keeping a dog in a shoe box with holes in it, he's not going to be happy and i'd still get mad. There's got to be something I can do to help these little guys, maybe even start a standard for the environment of all phibs and reptiles are kept. The least they could do is go through the same ammount of effort as they do with the rest of the animals. Am I wrong?
