Louis, I understand that the salt reacts with the worm but does it matter if I can get Froakie to eat it. Also how do you know if they are full? I haven't tried to feed him more then a worm a day, a pinkie a day, or 4-5 crickets in a day but I'm assuming he has to be getting full after a good week and impressive increase in size. In the picture I uploaded he was very active over night and rearranged himself in the middle of the enclosure underneath my plant. He is burrowed in and I still was able to get him to swallow a worm.

If the frog will still eat it then ok.
Some times the extra mucus does put off some frogs.
But yours seems to be not that finicky.
Don't worry it won't over eat it will stop eating when it is full.
If the frog is greater than 3 inches STV it can eat a fuzzy but any older then the mouse is harder to digest.
I would limit pinkies and fuzzy's to once a month.
I would add dubia roaches to the menu.

What is your frog's snout to vent length (SVL) at the present?

Hey Carlos, he is 2.5 inches long and lately 2 inches in girth. Here's a cool video of me feeding him. One worm and he appears to be fool. I apologize about the quality but he only eats when its dark out.

At 2.5 in. a Pacman should handle the smaller (4 in. or less) night crawlers whole. Sorry can't see FB video; link crashed Chrome in my laptop. If frog is eating and growing; all is well !

The mucus won't harm the frog. It just makes the worms harder to grip with tongs. As for eating only at night or in the dark that is normal these frogs are nocturnal and are usually only active at night. Occationally you'll catch them changing burrows or bathing during the day, but to often.

Sounds like you've got a healthy frog.

Okay, Froakie has been doing great but has began to croak in early morning/late at night. I was trying to find good information on why he might be croaking and was wanting to open up to question to everyone on the forum. Have any of you had your pacman frog croak and if so is it an alarm or just a mating display?

Welcome to being a proud owner of a male frog. LOL

They will croak when ever they feel like it.

My guy will croak at 2am or a 3pm.
