    Yes you can, but I wouldn't use them as a staple food.

    Ive never actually given my pac cooked shrimp but I have recently tried out something new. Flukers offers canned river shrimp. My frog seemed to like them the shrimp are pretty small though

    Where are your shrimp sourced from? If they're farm-raised out of Asia I wouldn't feed those to my worst enemy. There are some serious problems w/ the lack of regulation, and the highly intensive nature of aquaculture in all (almost all?) of the Asian countries. If you can find farm-raised shrimp from the US/Canada that's your best bet.

    It's raw and uncooked wild kroger shrimp from ralphs, so I'm guessing it's good ?

    I also give them imitation crab legs(good quality type fish meat).They also like chicken livers and hearts. Is that OK or not,for treats.

    Not necessarily. There should be a country of origin on your label, and it should say wild-caught or farm-raised.

    Then you should be good to go.

    Of course, we're gonna assume no hanky-panky with the labeling.

    To your pacman? On that one I have no idea. John says treat not staple food so maybe max once a week? Hopefully some of the other pacman keepers will chime in.

    Its interesting what different foods to give these guys as treats. I did watch a video on you tube once of someone giving their pac a piece of steak which I didn't think was appropriet even as a treat. The frog tore into it and ate it. Actually seemed to like it too.
