This was SO helpful!! This is the best Pacman frog diet video I've ever seen!! I'm getting a pacman frog soon and your videos are an amazing help!! Thank you :))
Also wanna be careful with bait shops too tho because they have red wringlers-they’re toxic to frogs and most people don’t know the different and aren’t even aware there’s different types of worms
Great informative video. Good idea about the feeding container. I have always tong fed because Pixel will lunge at anything near his mouth and have ended up with a frog on my finger a few times. I might try a feeding container some for fun. Maybe that would actually get him moving. haha Also wanted to ask you, I have that same water bowl in another tank. I noticed last night it has paint that has bubbled and chipped off so I pulled it out of tank. Have you had any issues with yours?
+mama j Sounds like Pixel and Zorak are a lot alike :) I did have one of my bowls have the paint chip off like that, but not the other, so I purchased a new one. I had thought it was a fluke, but maybe not.
I doubt you will see this because its been 2 years since you uploaded this video but i have some questions. I just got a young pacman frog and she will only eat when she is in her tank. Ive tried putting her in a separate container to feed because it is less messy and she wont eat substrate. However when i do this she freaks out, pees everywhere, wont eat, and just wants back in the tank. She just gets super stressed out for some reason.
Have you tried tong feeding? This is probably my favorite method of feeding for the frogs that will cooperate. Feeding in a separate container is always nice, but if it is too stressful and she will only eat when she is in the tank, tong feeding is a nice option to keep them from eating any substrate and not leaving too much of a mess.
Is 1 cricket a day a good diet for a pacman frog. (My crickets are gutloaded) and my frog is a tiny frog right now I got him recently. He's about a juvenile
hey! im getting a pacman soon, and is it alright if i feed night crawlers most of the time and feed things like hornworms or crickets twice a month? i live in a small town so we dont have too many options at the pet stores nearby
I'm a college student, so taking care of crickets is somewhat difficult considering my living situation. Would it be okay to support a Pacman Frog on just waxworms and nightcrawlers together? Or should it be avoided?
Crickets provide very little nutritionally to pacs. Also worms for fishing are literally the same thing my family used to own a worm farm. Freeze dried are awful as it’s like feeding just exoskeletons. The best to feed pacs would be night crawlers, pac attack, Dubai roaches, horn/silk worms, and silversides.
Has your pacman frog starting croaking or making mating noises? I'm considering getting one of these little guys but I'm worries about the possible loud noise.
My younger pacman frog will occasionally croak at night. Every now and then though they will let out what can only be described as a scream, this can be quite loud, although after keeping frogs for so long I tend to sleep though it.
I am thinking of getting a Pac-Man frog some time soon and my family gets squeamish of worms. But they are fine with crickets. So can you tell me if I can feed my frog dead crickets or those zoo Meds? I am still weary of zoo meds since someone In the comments said they were toxic. Also, should I break the legs off of the crickets? or would that be ok left alone? And if I do end up using live crickets, can I tong feed the crickets to my frog? As for the worm matter I’ll see if I can find a way to feed the frog worms without bothering my family. Thank you
Hi! I have a 4 month old pacman frog and I've been feeding them every 2 days, I feed them 4 crickets and they have started excepting five. I'm wondering if I should start feeding them every 3 days or just keep it to every 2 days and change it when they get older
In one of “ExoticLair’s” video he was gut loading a bunch of crickets and somehow a wild house gecko got into the bucket. By the next morning he woke up to a half eaten house gecko. I hate those noisy bastards. Can you feed wild night crawlers? For a few months every year we get a yard full of them because they come out to breed. Weirdest thing ever.
Ok so i need ancers!!!i mite get a white tree frog and i was wondering if you knew what to feed the crickets to ceep them alive so I can feed them to my frog?
i got a baby pacman frog and im confused about feeding. i got crickets and mealworms.do i feed daily and should i alternate worms one day then crickets the other?
I'd say feed mainly crickets, and feed mealworms twice a week as they are higher in fat and can cause impaction if fed too frequently, especially with a baby pacman.
I know this is late but I have a Pac-Man frog who needs to gain weight because she’s really thin she’s a juvenile and so I bought her some waxworms to help her gain weight, how many waxworms should I give her and how often??
i got a baby Surinam horned frog about 4 days ago and he isnt eating yet... i pull the crickets legs off and the live like that fin and they can kind of move so i drop it near him but he doesnt go for it... i try mini meal worms and little wax worms but nothing.... he seems to be active today hopping around so i threw 3 crickets in there equiped with legs so maybe he can encounter them more naturally but idk im hoping... and since he is a baby are there little night crawler type of worms??? (he is the size of a nickel)
Please answer! I know the video was form a long time ago but I’m really trying to figure out how to get my Pac-Man frog to eat at night. I just got him and he will only eat in the morning. He is still awake when I feed him and seems to be during the day but he could be sleeping. I tried to feed him at night twice and he only ate 1 tiny piece of a worm and that was all. How do I get him to eat at night? Or is it okay to feed him in the morning as long as he is awake
My other Pac-Man frog barely eat I actually have to force feed it to bite before it eats. He shrunk in size since I got him I was able to force feed him fish and super worms just so I know he has something. Changing his terrarium soon hope that works.
I have a baby Pac-Man and was happy to find this he is not liking his mealworms as much as before and I got him crickets but don't know if I should disable the cricket or just put him in his cage and let him hunt them down? We named him Reginald and if it turns out to be a girl we will call her Regina
@Brooke and Bella sadly Mortimer passed away last fall. I now have a common eastern toad. He's doing quite well with his crickets and not a fussy eater at all.
If you get babies or Juveniles keep them in a 2.5 gallon tank or equivalent to the size of a 2.5 gallon tank container with their substrate as "clean water" below the throat water level so they dont drown on it and change the water or refill it once it gets dried out and when they get bigger into 2.5 inches or 3 you can keep them in a 5 gal tank or equivalent to the size of it like a megabox or something poke some holes into the container for ventilation of course, you can still keep their substrate as water (always below the throat) but if you get bored,you can keep them in a cocofiber (moist) and keep their substrate as 70% moist coco fiber and 30% dry coco fiber make sure you divide them side by side not mix them and moist the cocofiber before they dry out for the feeders and feeding schedule,you guys have this video already never give them rats/goldfish/red wigler worms and keep their staple diet or always keep their diet with dubias/pac attack pellets/hornworms and mollies/platys (fish) and put them in a warm bath before and after you feed them :)
@@ayeexmaverick8983 thanks so much, i just have baby and give him a big terrarium, and yes i see him, eagerly want to eat and then stay and maybe sleep? While keep to digest at a Warmer temperature, i mean at a day around 11 am to 01 pm
You could try nightcrawlers and/or Dubai (I think that’s how you spell it) roaches, try avoiding feeding waxworks and mealworms, or only feed them as treats
tortoises? I don't personally, but I have been planning on interviewing people who keep other types of pets, I know someone that does keep large tortoises, but it might be about a month before they are available.
What have you been trying to feed it? How small is it? They all have different preferences with food so it might not eat if it doesn't like what its getting. Mine did the same thing with Wax worms.
@@goldmamba2468 I tried wax worms, crickets, mealworms, and night crawlers. I actually force fed him wax worms a couple days ago because he was underweight for his size
@@sharitarepulsa1446 Do you feed him in or out of his enclosure? Try putting him in an empty container with a few small crickets. Also is his enclosure heated properly? It affects their digestion if not, which in time will affect how often they eat.
I cant stand people who feed live rodents and chick's and what not on RUclips just for views. Its sadistic imo. Pig is perfectly happy with a frozen thawed pinky . No unnecessary suffering
Crickets are horrible! For all reptiles. If they're your main source of food for your reptiles they will die. Get Madagascar hissing roaches and or dubias

Like this comment if:
Dubia aren't available.
Crickets are noisy.
Mealworms and superworms are readily available...
Are Dubai’s the same as tropical roaches ?
This was SO helpful!! This is the best Pacman frog diet video I've ever seen!! I'm getting a pacman frog soon and your videos are an amazing help!! Thank you :))
Thank you, glad I could help :)
i always feel bad when people feed the frogs random giant things just to get youtube views. a big belly means a big belly ache
That's kinda sad, especially since they can still get views feeding appropriate foods
I worked at a worm farm as a kid. They did and still do supply to bait shops and pet
Stores. Same worms same farm cheaper at a bait shop
Not all bait shops get their worms from farms tho
@@scentlessxapprentice that’s why you ask

My Pac decided to stop eating Dubias. Soooo so is worms and crickets now.
my pacman frog ate a cricket after it bit him/her.
it refused to eat, before then.
I love the Space Ghost themed names. Do you/ did you have one named Brak?
My crested gecko is Brak, seemed fitting 😁
@@thenerdyfishgirl Ohhh yeah that sounds pretty perfect!!
Sounds like a big eater haha xD
It's what they do best :) Well it's pretty much all they do
Love the SGC2C references
my frog eats when there's no substrate in the way, atleast that's my experience.
I tried this out and my pacman just peed on its food lol.
I couldn't understand the sped up part where you talked about feeding fish..what about canned crickets?

Can I feed a Pacman frog a diet of feeder fish/ difernt types of worms
Is 1 cricket a day a good diet for a pacman frog. (My crickets are gutloaded) and my frog is a tiny frog right now I got him recently. He's about a juvenile
Not really, I feed my juvenile about 2 small duabi roaches a day. If the little ones arent hungry they wont accept it.
@@jakemerino5496 I don't have Dubai roaches tho. I can't even find anywhere that sells them either
@@getrektmemes1883 then 2 crickets should be fine. Any reptile store should carry them they are very common. you might have to ask for them
@@jakemerino5496 I have crickets and I make sure to gutload them. But thank you
1 is not enough. I tong feed and feed mine till he's full. Once he's done he won't open his mouth anymore.

Nightcrawlers maybe waxworms as rare treats.
@@stephaniemoore8013 exactly
Very helpful!
Absolutely love the frogs names. SGCC
as a direct question , how many times a week and how many nigh crawlers do i feed at a time for a 6-8 month old pac-man frog .
Please make a video on how to take care of wild frogs

You forgot locusts which are a very good source of proteins.
This is true, I tend to forget about them because they are illegal to sell here.

Ah ok. In France, no problem 😊

Can you feed wild night crawlers? For a few months every year we get a yard full of them because they come out to breed. Weirdest thing ever.
I wouldn’t because wild night crawlers are more likely to have harmful parasites
Also you might have harmful pesticides
So what do you keep your frog in
What calcium/d3 powder would you use or are they necessary
Some people feed there pacman frogs hamsters and mice is that good for them or not good for them
I have a Pac man frog that won't eat anything but wax worms. What I do?
How about mealworm or superworm?
Do I also need to dose their food with a multi vitamin like herptivite?
yeah and calcium but not both at once
Ok so i need ancers!!!i mite get a white tree frog and i was wondering if you knew what to feed the crickets to ceep them alive so I can feed them to my frog?

I'd say feed mainly crickets, and feed mealworms twice a week as they are higher in fat and can cause impaction if fed too frequently, especially with a baby pacman.
Mealworms hurt their digestion.

Is it possible to "scatter" feed some of their food, say the worms, to give the frog some mental stimulation?

You should rarely feed your frogs crickets. They’re not beneficial nutrition wise
what can i do if mine will only eat night crawlers? they won’t go for the dubia roaches or crickets. isnt variety super important
nightcrawlers are good staples, maybe try some treats like wax worms very rarely. they might start eating some other things after a treat
@@ozzysmith5042 haha yep i have them still eating nightcrawlers. but i do give pac-attack weekly as well. might try silverfish soon
Who else got a PETA add before this video 😂
My packet frog Clyde is about the size of my palm. Is it safe and healthy to feed him a night crawler daily
With a frog that size, I would feed every other day at the most.
Ok thank you
I’m gonna get one soon for my birthday. Do they eat any kind of greenery or fruits?
no, they are carnivores silly
my pacman frog wont bite and will only eat on tongs
What about those beetles waxworms turn into?
My little guy Mortimer is looking so skinny lately. Is this normal for them to look fat one day and then super skinny the next day? I feed crickets.
@Brooke and Bella sadly Mortimer passed away last fall. I now have a common eastern toad. He's doing quite well with his crickets and not a fussy eater at all.
Is it wrong that i push food gently on my pac mans mouth she is horrible aimer and i noticed that if i dont hand feed her she wont eat at all
@@payze2181 I had an albino one like that, turned out he was partially blind. As long as you are gentle and they are eating.
I get my mice crickets African cockroach I didn't do much of the other things and I give them mealworms to

feeding with tongs is lame to me. I have a tarantula and a pacman, I never do that bs.
When u should feed your frog?
If they’re a baby every day, if they’re older 3x a week...
maybe a mans point of view but if crickets can kill ur frog then their dumb n ur feeding them 2 much
