Pac-Man Frogs

[CJN2216]

Any one keep these types of frogs? I'm looking into getting one. I've done some research on the web about them, although there isn't a whole-whole lot. Anyone who has any good tips or advice on keeping them, I welcome it whole heartedly:)

i've had one for about 3-4 mons now they grow fast eat everything in front of them(including fingertips)
i keep mine in a ten gallon with moss on the bottom a few sticks for decoration the room he's in is about 75-80 deg
they don't move much the front legs seem pretty well useless they more or less just push around with thier back legs
but don't be fooled when he wants to get somewhere he's fast enough
i've read they don't need a uv light but i use one just incase
they eat crickets /worms feeder fish/and pinkies
but i just stay mostly with the crickets
thats about all i can think of right now
a good person to ask is linds she's got one to and nows alot more about reps than i do

pac man frog...ive had mine for about a year now. this is my thrid pac man, my last one got to a whole pound and was eating stunned rats. his name was jabba.
start them on crickets then to fuzzies then to hoppers then to mice :)
expect a voracious eater, my current frog eats full grown mice, he sings at night ( 3 whole notes in sequence like Beep beep BBBEEEPPP)he lunges at movement when he decides he is hungry and is an albino.
use only bottled water( i place him in his enclosure and fill the enclousre with smooth pebbles and water until the water is 2/3 up the height of his body and watch out for misquito larvae in summer months in which i keep a female beta in his water for company. i also use an under tank heater for when it gets cool. ( DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LET THE WATER GET COLD)

They are great little frogs to keep! I can see my collection growing and growing in the future, I just love their noises :p I just keep mine in a rubbermaid. I was using peat moss as a substrate, and it served the purpose very well (if you use it, make sure it is the finely milled kind because your frog will ingest it), but I find papertowel much easier to work with. I keep the papertowel damp and provide a large shallow dish of water, which must be kept extremely clean at all times. I provide some fake foliage for hiding as well as asthetics, and also a plastic hiding spot as well (icing container on its side). Make sure any ornaments in the enclosure are too large to fit into your frogs mouth, these guys are notoroius for eating rocks, etc. My room is heated (DTH 83 NTL 77) so I do not provide any supplemental heat. They are diurnal animals but have very low UV requirements since they are usually covered and hiding, waiting for prey. I don't provide any UV for mine, but do make sure he has the proper d3 supplementation. Recent research on the diet of these animals show that they need more roughage. A rodent-based diet is too high in fat, and can result in corneal opacities which may lead to permanent blindness. I offer mine a rodent (fresh killed from tongs once the rodent is sizeable enough to bite) no more than once a month. Their diet should consist mainly of invertabrates such as mealworms, superworms, crickets, earthworms, etc. dusted with calcium. A good portion of their diet can consist of fish as well, but be careful with those. I like to freeze mine since fish are loaded with parasites. They are very easy to maintain, just watch your fingers, they have a big mouth and like lance mentioned, they can be very fast when they want to be...lol :p
