Just got a new Pacman Frog

[coltiger]

Even when he/she grows to full size it will look out of place. The eye looks like problem, I hope it is fixable...its a nice looking Ornate

[AsmCoder8088]

Hmm, I had read that the larger the tank, the better. Maybe not? Oh well, he's not going to feel cramped anyway.

His eye looks to be doing a lot better lately:



And he's still eating crickets fairly well, so he seems healthy at least!

[Kurt]

So the eye is improving?

[coltiger]

nothing wrong with giving your animals space at all. My first Cane toad was in 100 gallon tank until side cracked.

[AsmCoder8088]

Yeah, the eye is improving for sure. However I had purchased another pacman frog when I originally discovered the infection because I thought the first pacman might not make it. Now I have two pacman frogs in the same tank.

How long can I keep them in the tank until I risk them eating each other? They're both baby pacman right now, so I don't think they would do that until they're adult size, but what do you think?

[Kurt]

I would seperate them immediately. They are one of the most canibalistic species of all the frogs.

Great looking frog. Congrats.

If the eye isn't 100% better, it might still need some medication.

As for your tank size, that is way too big for a pacman. They just sit in the dirt. Especially as they get older, moving is something they don't do a lot of. If you put crickets into a tank that size than your frog will never catch them. They just sit and wait for food. So the bigger the tank, the less chance the food will pass by your frog. A tank that size would be better suited for a pyxie...but even then it would be big...

Also, definitely separate your frogs asap. They will try to eat each other

You could place a seperater in the cage like a plexi glass wall or some thing opaque siliconed in to seperate your two frogs.
