    To those asking about pacman frogs eating mice. I made the mistake of feeding my adult pacman a mouse once a week to twice a week. I made it his staple, which led to him developing a disorder which shortened his tongue, making it difficult for him to eat. A great staple is feeder fish.

      @BigShrimpin416 2 года назад

      I had 3 Pacman frogs years ago and they used to eat pinkies once in a while and they were ok. I’ve never heard of it causing problems with their tongues. What happened?

    • @cynthiajohns0n442
      @cynthiajohns0n442 Год назад

      They can have mice every 2 to 3 weeks. Because they are fatty, if u feed ur frog nothing but mice, it will make them fat & develope disorders.

Mine didnt seem to eat and I'm wondering if it may be because of stress. I checked today and noticed that it had ate it but spit it out. Could it be because of stress?

  • @6_pains
    @6_pains 9 лет назад +5

    First off let me start by saying that I love ALL of the videos on this channel! So informative and it's good to know that there is a pet "retail" store that is knowledgeable AND trustworthy. Now I do have a question; I'm viewing options for obtaining my first pet frog/toad and I'm considering a fire bellied toad. Seeing as to how you currently don't have a "how to set up" video for fire bellies, I was wondering if a set up similar to this one for a Pacman was suitable for a fire belly. I was considering a really nice, more terrestrial setup like this one, with a large water bowl for them to soak in but I'm not sure if this is suitable/appropriate. Thanks in advance!

    • @LLLReptile1
      @LLLReptile1  9 лет назад +1

      I would say it is similar except pacmans don't need a big space at all. Fire Belly Toads like to move around a bit more. Moss, hiding spots, nice decor for fire bellies. You can find a ton of killer decor at at our website :)

    • @dehnandie4141
      @dehnandie4141 9 лет назад +3

      Well I saw is and thought I'd help you out with it. Fist they like a lot of friends, the more the better in my experience. They also like a lot of water and swimming space, and still a large area of dry land to wander around on. If you have 4, 1 hide is probably what what you'd want after they are used to you. But when they are used to it 1 hide is OK as they are surprisingly active and don't really hide. I have a video on my own setup if you would check it out, I'd appreciate also if you want an idea of how to spoil your pets lol. It looks a lot better that it is in the video but I'll be doing a updated video tomorrow as I'm getting 2 new toads! That was a lot of writing... sorry

    • @dehnandie4141
      @dehnandie4141 9 лет назад +1

  • @Elaine_P_Smith

    Do you need a false bottom (1 bag hydroballs, egg create)? Can you use Jungle Mix, Eco Earth and worm castings for the substrate ( 2 parts Jungle Mix, 2 parts Eco Earth, 4 parts worm castings)? Can you add isopods and springtails? Would a 20 gallon long aquarium be too large for a pac-man frog? I'm looking for books to read about pac-man frogs.

    • @BigShrimpin416
      @BigShrimpin416 2 года назад

      No false bottom, you aren’t using that much water. You don’t want the dirt soaking wet. Just damp not drenched.

My snake burnt her belly on a heat pad because it was underneath glass. If it is plastic glass I think you would be safe. Sorry for all that information

    I'm looking to get a pacman frog but my dad hates having crickets in the house. Could I feed it phoenix worms as a staple instead? Thanks
