Update on my albino

[BigBlue83]

Well see the size isn't always the issue. You fed her large crickets yes? They can't digest the crickets heavily armored heads and with that combined with 2 pinky mice is a recipe for constipation although not full on impaction, but she may have required help to pass the mouse and cricket combo.
I just recently helped a member with their frog who accidently was fed too many pinky mice in one sitting. You should only offer the pinky mice as a treat preferably once a month due to how much fat they contain. They are nutritious and are a complete meal all wrapped into once tiny bite sized morsel, but can sometimes be difficult to pass.

You may be able to find night crawlers at Wal Mart if you have one near you. Make sure they contain no dyes or chemicals. They should say on the container.

im not ashamed to say and quite proud to say you learn something everyday. I wasnt aware of the large crickets the wings and head armor would be an issue, or could cause an issue for that matter. to answer your question about feeding her large crickets im going to say yes and no. I have three firebellys that eat crickets i buy small and large from petco. so i have a variety of different sizes at one time. so she doesnt just get large because she will also get medium and ones that are kinda medium but on the small side. i have thought about walmart too. i know during fishing season they sell night crawlers never noticed if they do all year round. I havent been to walmart in a while, so i will make it a point to go by between now and wednesday so i can get her or try to get her some worms. Thanks for the info on the crickets.

You're welcome

If you ever offer her meal worms or super worms do it very sparingly as well. The chitin that their exoskeleton is made from also cannot be digested by the frog and if fed too many they can cause impaction. One or maybe 2 every 2 weeks would be fine just t add variety. You'll probably want to crush the heads of the super worms because they have strong mandables and can deliver a powerful bite to your frog and you.

ive never offered her meal worms. the lady at petco tryed to tell me they are good but i wasnt listening to her. I have firebellys and i know that meal worms are not good for them because of their "shell" so i figured why would it be any different for a pacman... so i dont even bother. theres so many other things that are good why try something questionable you know....

Exactly! Meal worms are safer than Super worms due to their size. Not as much chance for impaction for a Pacman with small mealies. They would be fine if offered 2 or 3 every so often. Not as much chitin to worry about with mealies for a large frog. I offer them occationally with no issues, but not super worms. They're a little too bitey and since they are much larger they have a lot and I mean alot more undigestable chitin. I stay away from them. I may try them once for my adult female Grif, but not Loki. I always say better safe than sorry.

so i tryed to feed dorothy aka dotty worms today. after about ten minutes of trying to feed the worm with tongs and by letting it sit in front of her she didnt even make an attempt to eat it. so i gave up and gave her a couple of medium size crickets.

These frogs know what they like and are picky sometimes about trying new foods. She may take them eventually, but it will take time. Hornworms are a ggod treat for your Pac. If you ever want to try them out. You'll have to order them though. They grow so rapidly that I don't think any pet store will carry them. Very nutritious food though and filling. They get huge. Can reach 4 inches in length within a week to week and a half. They're really thick too. Also known as Goliath worms.
