Just got a new Pacman Frog

[AsmCoder8088]

Okay, so I finally took him to the vet today since I was concerned that it might get worse. She said that it's not an eye infection, in fact, it's a sort of cataract where some kind of nerve damage has taken place. Anyway, she gave me some eye dropper medicine to apply three times a day (Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Ophthalmin Suspension, by Falcon Pharmaceuticals; a 5mL bottle).

Also, I have separated the frogs because one of them did attack the other while I was working with them (it was actually the smaller frog lunging at the larger one!) and so I promptly set them aside and made a divider out of the substrate:



So now they each have their own 25 gallon space.

Also, I asked the vet and she said to feed them 5-6 crickets a day.. is that about right? I had been feeding them 2-3 crickets a day. What's the recommended amount?

Here's some more pictures:

I'm not sure I think the vet's diagnosis is correct, and since she gave you an antibiotic for it, I don't think she's so sure either. But at least she gave you what you need to treat the eye. Regarding feeding them, try the 15 minute rule - as much as a frog will eat in 15 minutes. For young frogs kept at a good temperature I would feed them every day.

It appears from your photos that only one side has a water dish.

Ah, very observant! I actually just got a new water dish in today so now they both have one (the reason I had only one earlier was because I didn't really plan on having two Pacman frogs originally).

And also, my Dad got a pacman frog a couple weeks before I got mine (so he's had his for maybe four weeks) and his pacman frog sits in his water dish all the time. Is that normal?? My pacman either sit in the dirt or bury themselves in it...

Also, his pacman frog is an albino... whereas mine are ornates (in case that makes any difference).

I think ornates are cooler , don't have one though (yet)
