    2:39 I think you can definitely call it enrichment. I hate seeing sand boas in boxes of sand and pacmans in boxes of dirt, with nothing else in them. I was told that my sand boa wouldn't use anything I put in there, and it uses everything that other snakes use. I got a Pacman recently and I'll be giving him a real setup just like my sand boa. Just because an animal doesn't climb on things doesn't mean it doesn't use them! My sand boa doesn't climb on his decor, but he gets enrichment from having something to bury under/around, and from having a more realistic environment. Even if you don't see your animal using its decor, it still gets value just from having its environment replicated correctly. I'll definitely be putting decor in for my new frog. He'll get just as much aesthetic value out of it as I will :)

    aren’t pacman frogs supposed to be handled as little as possible because of how the oils in our skin effect their sensitive skin? your care video was very accurate but i thought i’d mention this just for clarification.

    • @nobody2021
      @nobody2021 Год назад +1

      What if you wore gloves like latex or nitrile? Or maybe those looser plastic film gloves that you often see in food handling. I guess those could also have chemicals that could leach into their skin and hurt them, but maybe there is one that is completely inert to them

    Have you tried making the pacman's tank bio active? I used to use a mixture of charcoal and water to spray in areas that would try to grow mold. Not sure if it actually worked or if the spring tails took care of it, as my tank accidentally became bio active when I started planting things. I never see mold any where. Those things act fast.

      Transport is simple, just put them in a small container, like a round tupperware with holes in the lid, and about an inch of their substrate. As with the enclosure, make sure the substrate never dries. Zoomeds' Reptisafe is always a trust-able water treater!

    Regardless of whether or not your soil is damp enough to "not" have a water bowl, you should ALWAYS have a water bowl for any frog Species. This is just basic Amphibian care

    • @mandiejean1994
      @mandiejean1994 2 года назад +5

      From what I've seen pac man's do not swim and can even drown in their water bowls so they aren't exactly just like other frogs. I just got my first baby and there is so much conflicting information. Most amphibians do hydrate through the skin along with other reptiles so he's not exactly wrong by their biology. If you do have a water bowl I've seen people warn that it needs to be shallow so that they don't drown. So I would think either option is okay? I have lizards and snakes but this is new to me. They seem hearty and healthy so I'm excited for this journey.

      I have 2 pac man frogs and have had them for quite awhile. They absolutely have to have the soil moist to absorb the water but they also use their water bowls as Jacuzzis also. They will sit in the water for hours and jump out when they're ready to bury themselves
