    Default Pacman Care! Help!!!!!!!!

    Hey Guys,

    I am new to the frog world. I am picking up a 1 year old Albino Female Pacman on Sunday. I need some help with care. I know the following:

    They need to be in at least a 10 Gallon tank or a 16qt tub.
    Temp needs to be 80
    I can add Sphahmun moss (Not sure why can someone tell me)

    Thats about it. I was not expecting to get one but it was included in a trade so I said what the heck I'll do it!

    Okay I know they need to eat crickets, worms, mice, fish etc. But how much do I feed everyday? Do I give a mouse once a week or once a month? I know I sound dumb but I have always wanted to get into frogs and liked them so I guess this is my chance. Can you guys please tell me everything I need to know!

    Daniel

    Also is it true that Pacmans can have between 1000 to 2000 babies? I heard this off a site. If not how many can they have?

    You have to be a registered user to view ads on that site.

    Anyways people put moss in tanks to keep the humidity up. It does help, but frequent misting is just as good.

    As far as food it all depends on the size of the Pacman, but since it's a year its probably good size. Mice would be used as treat, and I wouldn't feed them mice too often. They are high in fat. Superworms, earthworms, and large crickets make a good diet. Also roaches as well. Make sure you are gut-loading and using a dust to put on the food.

    The temp should be between 75-85 degrees. And the humidity should be fairly high, but not enough to cause condensation on the glass. You'll need a good size water dish for her to soak in.

    Thanks alot,

    Umm I heard if I feed mice every 2 weeks I don't have to dust the worms or crickets or gut load them.

    Wrong, mice are lacking in good nutritional value. Always gut load.

    You should dust the food regularly, no matter what it is. There is no harm in it. Personally I wouldn't feed mice that frequently.
