Re: Pacman Frog
Pacman frogs are really easy to care for, as long as you set them up right. I had one for several years. They NEED a lot of moisture, so a bedding mix of cypress mulch, moss, jungle earth (usually a sterile peat and soil mix) and sphagnum will work well. A single Pacman will do fine in a 5 or 10-gallon tank. Keep it warm- high 70s to low 80s but make sure to mist several times a day and give the frog a huge water bowl it can easily fit in and soak in. For a while I had mine in a 20-gallon divided so half was water and half was dirt. He never went in the water. I switched him back to a 10-gallon that was all dirt with a big shallow dish and he started going into the dish frequently. They also eat a lot. Give it crickets a few times a week, roaches, mealworms, and mice to size as it grows (pinkies, fuzzies, or hoppers).
While they do tolerate handling for the most part, it certainly isn't good for them. Frogs absorb nutrients and moisture through their skin, so anything you have on your hands (soap, lotion, perfume, sanitizer) will leach into the frog and could harm it. I would not recommend handling it.
