There are few vids of insect feedings cuz that is like u eating fruit or a salad. rodents are the pacman's stake. Not an every day food, and this was like a 72oz!

If you don't think that a pacman frog should ever have any small rodent to eat, then you are the bad owner. u prolly wouldn't let your dog have any table scraps either. pacs r happy to have a real meal once in a while. You just have to be responsible with it. have tongs ready to pull its head away if it attempts to bight the frog, and choose an appropriate size meal for the frog. (like an half to 3quarter grown mouse)

I don't think anyone is upset that he was feeding his pacman a rodent, but rather that he gave it something that is obviously far too large for it to swallow, needlessly risking injury to his pet, and needless cruelty to the rat since it was just thrown in there to be killed in a brutal way, and never eaten. It's pretty much just done for his own amusement, with no upside for either animal, and plenty of risks.

And by the way, I call B.S. on guarding your frog with tongs. A scared/injured rodent can bite hard and fast. There's no way you're going to prevent a bite with tongs, the best you could do is try to pry it off after the damage was already done. Frogs are not snakes. They don't have the same thick skin and body design to safely kill live rodents, and as such are much more at risk for injury from bites. I don't see why you couldn't feed frozen if you really cared about your pet. All you have to do is wiggle it a little to get the frog to eat it.
