Here's Freddy my albino Pacman frog. He's grown a lot since I got him about a month ago :) How big should he be before i can feed him some pinkies? And also if you guys have any pics of your pacman enclosures i would love to see them :) thanks!

The space between his eyes should be longer than the pinkie so that he won't get impacted on the skull or pelvis, at least 3.5 inches STV.

Nice pac-man! jsut curious, but are they an active frog species or do they sit in one spot for a week?

Active and frequent feeders when little, but as they get older and take bigger and more infrequent meals they will burrow down in their substrate and you might not see them for days, weeks or even months if they choose to hibernate.

i have an albino pac man. his name is bernie.......i know its a boy cause late at night ( especially if he can " hear" the TV, get an odd sort of song that only has three notes, it sounds sort of like a fart with three spaces. ( ah, amor is the da air!)...he eats hoppers and that is a sight, but ive had bernie for a year now and he is soooo great......
but move, well no not really...unless i clean his cage or feed him...
if it is a boy, you should start hearing noise before their first bday....if its a girl....expect your froggie to become quite an eater.....prekilled rat pups is what my girl ( jabba) got up to a few years ago. damn she was huge....ugly and huge.....

Remember pinkie mice/rats contain a high fat content & too many are bad for your frogs health. It will also suppossedly give them an eye condition that will make them go blind. Mix it up & feed them fish, earthworms etc. Mark I.

Thanks for all the info...
What kind of fish is good for them? and how much or how often should I give him some?

They thrive on nightcrawlers and minnows, superworms and crickets and grasshoppers! My pacman Captain Crunch lived 26 years. A pacman should have no more than 1 mouse per month and if he's eating hopper size mice then 1 mouse per month is the only meal he should have that month.

Obesity is the #1 killer of pacman frogs. Not surprising because it's just so fun to watch them eat.
