Pacman frog tadpoles

[Tony]

Pacman frogs are bred by only a few major producers using hormone treatment. Breeding by hobbyists is a fairly rare event so there just aren't many tads to show.

I plan on breeding my pacs next year so keep on the watch froglets and tadpoles for sale

There are a few more breeders over here in the UK breeding their pacmans without hormone treatment.
This does involve a period of aestivation to condition the frogs for breeding which itself has its own risks but quite a few have had great successes.

On the plus side, you can order the necessary chemicals for hormone treatment. None of them are controlled. On the other hand, I would not recommend that for the average hobbyist (That means you) without training and the equipment to get the dosages right.

Chemical supply companies. The most successful combination is a form of synthetic leutenizing hormone and a dopamine antagonist in a DMSO carrier. But... to keep people from Trying This At Home I wont say the exact combination (doses, administration methods, which specific stuff you want, which supply company has the best stuff etc)

Thanks for your replies everybody. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get on for 3 days. I really wish your average jo could breed them it would be great to breed them without chemicals.
