pacman or pixie?
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.

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

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.

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!
