Diet & Nutrition
Pac Man Frogs are carnivores. They can be fed crickets, mealworms, waxworms, and small roaches. An adult frog can occasionally eat small rodents such as pinky mice.
Pac Man Frogs should be fed 2-3 times a week. Dust food with calcium powder every feeding, & a multivitamin once a week.
Housing & Habitat
Pac Man Frogs are found throughout the tropical rainforests of South
America. Pac Man Frogs can be cannibalistic when housed together as both babies and adults.
Enclosure Size
Pac Man Frogs can be kept in a 10-gallon tank as babies. An adult will require a tank measuring 36" Long x 18" Deep x 12" High, also known as a 40
Breeder or a 50 gallon tank.
Substrate
Due to humidity requirements an absorbent substrate is desired.
Coconut fiber, peat moss or sphagnum moss are suitable.
Temperature & Lighting
Temperature
Pac Man Frogs need an ambient temperature of 78º to 85º F.
Lighting
Lighting is not required for Pac Man Frogs. For live planted terrariums or aesthetics light may be used. Low strength UVB can be used to promote plant growth and act as an anti-microbial. There is no current proof that this animal requires UVB light, although some keepers prefer to provide UVB.
Plant and Fish bulbs are not UVB bulbs.
Humidity & Watering
Humidity
Pac Man Frog humidity should remain high (60-80%) due to their native tropical climates. This can be maintained using a fogger, hand mister, or misting system.
Watering
A large water bowl with clean water should always be provided.
Always use de-chlorinated or spring water.
