Getting a Pacman frog (between tomorrow and summer)

[MeTree]

Hey guys! Its me, MeTree!

You guys really helped me alot on my looking into pacman frogs thread, but now I have purchased almost everything I need (excluding the tank, crickets, and pacman frog), so this is more like a comitment now.

I have ordered substrate (eco-earth coco-fiber stuff), calcium w/ D3, water dish, water conditioner, terrarium log, humidity gauge, 2 thermometers, and a screen for under $52 including tax and shipping.

My LFS says that they will be getting pacmans this summer (I guess when the tadpoles turn to frogs and the breeders charge less?). Anyway, I don't know exactly what that means, but...

I guess I will moisten the substrate with the mister. Should I spray the frog also? I guess I still have afew questions. I will update as soon as I find out when the green pacmans will be at my LFS.

Thanks for all your help, Frog Forum Community!

I wouldn't single out the frog for spraying - you should be spraying the substrate. I commend you for doing your preparations so early on.

Thanks for the replies! Are you saying I should spray the frog and the substrate, or don't spray the frog? Sorry, I am not very good with wording.

Being prepared is something I learned the hard way when it came to fish, but I have gotten all that straightened out awhile back. I didn't lose any fish, but it was a close call. That was summer of last year, though.

Can't be over-prepared!

Hey guys!

The supplies I ordered from Petco last week came! I will get some pics up to show you what I got. Paid $50 and that includes the shipping (which was free when my order went over $40) and tax!

Here are some pics of the merchendise;




How is that for $50? Is this all I am going to need other than the pacman and tank? I will try to get a fake plant next time I go to Petsmart.

Thanks for all the help! I couldn't have made it this far without the help of the forum.

MeTree,

Comments anyone?

Petco sent me double of one item (the PETCO heat resistant screen top). I ask them what to do and they sent a pick-up truck that picked up the item. Oh well lol.

You might wanna think about a vitamin/mineral powder to mix with the calcium powder. I use it, makes me feel a bit better about the nutritional value of the food I feed my frogs
