New PacMan

[Joe9252]

So sadly my pacman died about a month ago I only had it for 3 months it stopped eating and just died very sad .... Not sure why it died I wish i really knew perhaps it was my fault maybe too much heat from the lamp i really dont know.... but I was really upset and finally decided to get a new one today. Decided to go with an albino this time and he is a little guy purchased a smaller "starter tank" for him and I just wanna make sure all is good and I wanna get him big and healthy so far hes eaten 5 little crickets so im very pleased I just placed another 5 in the tank to see if he eats more so what do you guys think.. Also any words of advise I wanna make sure Im doing everything right also is there anyway to tell if its a male or female from my understand females grow much faster and bigger than males

here a pic of the little guy:

You need to give him some kind of cover, even if it's just a plastic cave. They don't like being out in the open like that. You may want to use a proper substrate too. Part of the problem with keeping one in such a small volume of water is that when they defecate (poop) it pollutes the entire terrarium and the frog has to sit in it until you clean it out.

Hi, I'm think of getting one of there frogs too, they look very interesting, more like a stomach with eyes than a frog...

I'm a newbie too, here's my tank setup for my toad, try setting your up like this too, I'm sure I'd work much better, and when I get a Pacman, I am going to set it's tank up the same way as my toads tank.

I have roughly 6 inches of organic soil on the bottom, 5 live plants, I don't believe in fake plants, a few sticks and 1 log, a little hill with the toads water dish on top, and the lower part of the hill is hollowed out to allow the toad to burrow, and quite a bit of moss which holds moisture very well, and gives the toad a place to sit/burrow. I don't know that much about Pacs, but I think this tank set up would work well for them too.

It looks like you are using a heat mat on the bottom of that kritter keeper, and with no substrate you are cooking the frog, you may not have a heat pad but it looks kind of like it. Get some eco earth and a few plants and a water dish. Or maybe that was just a temporary set up, good luck

No heat pad thats just the stand for a light from my 10g tank

I have my 10g tank from my old one but i was told to keep him in this until it gets bigger.... should i go by some substrate and make the little tank good from him or should i just put him in my 10g which is all setup?

The kritter keeper is probably fine for a frog that size but he needs some type of dirt or moss to dig in. And I'd recommend you move the heat mat to the side of it, if you do have one attached. My albino looks about the same size as yours Wish mine had the same appetite

I've had mine 3 months and he hasn't grown at all, but he barely eats so I hope he gets better. I too want a huge frog, I may get an ornate if possible.
