pacman or pixie?

[duroo]

i am considering getting a frog and have narrowed it down to either a pacman from or a pixie frog. they both seem really cool to me but i am new to keeping frogs. which one would you guys recommend for a first timer?

i havent kept pixies (altho i want one), but do have a pacman and have kept others in the past. the baby pacs that i raised myself were easy, in fact they accepted food off of tongs. my current pacman, who i received as an adoption, was a problem feeder despite showing no signs of ill health. he consistantly refused food until i began a force feeding schedual which lasted over three months. he is now doing fine and eating on his own. so basically what i am saying is, they would seem to be easy frogs, but some wild caughts have difficulty acclimating, and i would strongly suggest getting a captive bred baby and raising it up, rather than going for an adult.

A pacman and pixie have almost the same requirements and behaviors. But i think pacmans have better coloring and are just a awesome frog, Especially albinos. I have 2 pacs. One baby reguler pacman, and a fist sized albino. The fun thing about the albino is that it eats rats! i don't know if pixies do but who cares.

yeah, my boy eat rats too, and its the coolest thing.

PIXIE PIXIE PIXIE best frog ive ever owned (lol "ho ho ho green giant") i love them pac mans dont do anything and manville "...very good eaters" pixies are better eaters

[thunder]

it's true that pixies dont do anything. adults can stay in the same position for days if it suits them.

so i guess neither one is very active?

sorry, i meant to write pacman. i haven't kept pixies, altho i have cared for them in the past. i just know that my pacmen (hehe), once they reach a certain size, are basically lumps. very cool lumps.

[duroo]

well thats cool, my gf doesnt understand the concept of a pet that you just watch, but i still think owning one would be really cool. heck i might just get both, in separate tanks of course so they dont eat each other!! thanks everybody for your input!

[thunder]

sounds like a good compromise! when in doubt, get both.
