I've got a pacman frog that I've had for about four months. I'm not sure how old it is but it was about two inches long when I got it and it's grown very little. Pacman frogs have a reputation for their appetites but my frog is not at all agressive and only eats around 3 crickets per week! I've tried to feed her goldfish and worms but shes rejected them every time. She likes wax worms but I can't feed her too many. Roseanne (the frogs name) ate nothing at all this week so I tried to force feed her some earthworms by putting them right up to her mouth and she just ignored them. And I don't think that it's a matter of me not SEEING her eat, as is often the case (though I wish it were). I usually throw 2-3 crickets into the tank every other day and end up finding more than a couple cricket carcasses by the end of the week.
Besides not eating, she looks healthy, and while she seems lazier than the already very lazy majority, I think she's responsive and alert. I keep her in a 10g tank with coco husk and an undertank heating pad and a lamp which keeps the temp right above 70. In addititon to that there are a couple hiding places, so I think that I have a relatively good setup.
On the other hand, I wonder if the noise around the tank stresses her out? I keep her in the main room where I watch TV and listen to music and in addition to that I have two dogs that are excessively yappy.
I guess is what I'm wondering is A) if there is anything I'm not doing to help my pacman eat and grow, and B) if anyone thinks that my frog may be sick.
Sorry for the essay! I'm just worried for Rosie.![]()
