    Hey guys. I am sorry this isn't extremely relevent to the impaction topic, but I need to point something out. I am not trying to be mean to frogmike at all, but he and everyone else reading this thread needs to know.

    If mice are fed to Pacman Frogs too often as in the case listed above, lipids will start developing in the cornia of the Pacman Frog's eyes. This will eventually cause ir-reversable blindness and possibly even death! Be very careful not to overfeed rodents! They are very fatty! They should never be used as a primary food source for reasons listed above.

    A rodent or 2 once a month, or maybe a (1) rodent twice a month is fine (depending on the size of the rodent and Pacman Frog of course), but with a pinky a day (or even twice a week debatebly) is not going to keep the blindness away (in fact, quite the opposite).

    I just needed to point that out. Hope you guys don't mind.

    Also, I am glad to hear that your Pacman Frogs seems to be eating fine, Bruce. My Pacman Frog takes forever it seems to take a poo, and then he is back to being the baddest monster cranwelli this planted knows.
