PACMAN FROG CARE! How to Take Care of a Pacman Frog 

Right on time. I just picked mine up from a local reptile expo today. Excited to watch him do nothing :)

Good timing for me to come across this video, I recently got a baby Pacman Frog from Petco yesterday. He's very cute and I love him!

I had my pacman frog for 2 years i named him toad . Since he was a baby i had him in water the day i put dirt into his tank he was not feeling it at all😭 pacman frogs got a personality to them i got videos of him when hes upset. In chill mode. In haunt mode and so much more! Don't let there rock days fool u! They can be active to

made am impulse decision to get one today knowing that i know nothing about them this helped so much i really appreciate your honest and personal opinions about what works compared to what you prefer VERY EXCITED TO BE A FROG MOM THANK YOU !!!!

I am a newbie to the hobby. Am considering a Pacman frog. Have been watching a bunch of videos for research. Your video has been the most detailed, helpful one yet!!! Thank you so much for making this. Appreciate you!

This video was amazing! I’m getting my first Pacman for my birthday and this video was exactly what I needed! Thanks 😊

Just got our first pet rock yesterday, and I’d have to say our enclosure looks pretty cool! Thank you!

I just picked up my first Pac-Man frog yesterday and now after watching your awesome video I went on Amazon and spent $140 for hides plants and what not lol

Awesome video, thank you for this! I pick up my Pacman frog today!

My new Pac-Man frog is loving their enclosure. Cheeseburger (pretty sure she’s a girl) has a fun bioactive terrarium with a real fox skull. I’m adding new plants in soon and I’m loving it. Essentially, terrarium plus pet rock frog lol.

Pet rock you gotta feed lol love mine

Is it fine to only feed pacman frogs only soft food's like pacman Frog Food that comes ready, or do they need crickets and roaches and other insects, because i am not 100% sure on how to feed them, i have been wondering this for a while if they can eat just foods that come ready like soft food bites for pacman frog's

this is such an awesome video. good job!!!

Thank you! You really helped me with making my decision!!

i bought a pacman a week ago from a local pet store it fairly small can easily fit in your palm. temps 77 to 79. humidity 60 to 70% and bio planted tank plenty of cover with leaves and plants the 3 sides covered and well its not eating doesnt matter that i try to feed him and never seen him eat im at a loss on what to do. i always try to feed him at 9pm or so when everything has had lights out.

My nephew Isaac likes frogs just doesn't know yet soil with frogs is like if you don't like eating vegetables pretend airplane or train then soon they will be excited

Im thinking about getting one myself.. Just got to get the ok from hubby lol. I have a bearded dragon, a cat, and puppy... so he is a bit worried about it.

haha the coco fibre hate was NOT expected ! lol

What I would do for my crickets was to buy them. Keep them in a separate critter carrier with egg crate and toilet paper rolls. I would also feed them fruit and vegetable scraps. I would have a rotation of two separate cricket containers. So essentially I knew the crickets I was feeding were well fed and gut loaded.

Any other kinds of frogs you would recommend to live with a pacman?

Hey, thank you for this video! And it is super useful for you to have a amazon page with all the stuff. But I got one question. You say you can mix 25% of the reptisand with the 10 qt. bag of reptisoil. Are you talking about the 10 pound bag of reptisand? So you would mix 25% of the 10 pound Reptisand bag with the whole 10 qt. of Reptisoil?

Great thorough video!

Pacman frogs are one of my favourite frogs

this is very helpful thankyou frog guy 🐸

it worries me when he eats crickets and worms he ingests the substrate. Is this bad? Substrate is coco and reptisoil

Hey there. My baby is always buried and doesn’t really come up to be fed. Any recs on what to do?

Hello, this video is so helpful! I have been thinking about getting either a pacman frog or a budgett's frog. Although the one thing that's been holding me back is the cost and also I live with my parents and my dad is very sensitive and allergic to many things. You mentioned the soil to use and how much moisture they need. I think I could use fake plants to avoid any extra smells or mold. But I was wondering: Does keeping these frogs smell at all? Would getting a budgett's frog be a better option for me? I heard they don't need as much dry land, and more water. Would you have any advice for the care of budgett's frogs? Thank you so much!

Can I put a baby straight into a 40, or do they have to be in something smaller until they are bigger?

I’m hoping you reply to this. My Pac-Man frog has an open wound on his head, should I put substrate in his tank or leave it bare for a while?

My PacMan is my only frog, but he is one of my favorite animals even though he does nothing!

Hi... Actually should I need a uvb for my Pacman frog ? And if yes then how many hours should I keep the uvb on ?

They may be pet rocks, but they're absolutely adorable ❤. Do pacman frogs croak alot?

It looks like you're using the Reptizoo dimming thermostat. Have you done a review on this? Also, have you used DHP or only CHE? If both, do you prefer the CHE and why? Thanks!

WHat about using just distilled water by its self for them?

I want to set live plants for my frog but what kind of plant can you use that not toxic for them?

How much vertical space does a Pac-Man need? I have a 20 gallon long aquarium (30x12x12) so if I put in 5 inches of substrate that will only leave him 7 inches of vertical space. Will that be enough, or should I get a different tank for him

Would a 60x30x30 cm or a 24x12x12 inch enclosure be big enough for an adult pacman frog?

What about the heating? Im considering using a ceramic heat emmiter

Do you need a heating pad or just the lamp? Great video by the way 👍

Would the frog be fine if I only fed it nightcrawlers and meal wormS?

What kind of plants can you put in the tank that are real?

what live plants do you suggest? or which ones do you use yourself?

I just brought one from petco and they don’t move at all I thought he didn’t like the enclosure

I can send a picture of the exact light not sure if this is the 1 I actually have

I've only had my pacman frog for 1 week now, it's only 1 inch big and im not sure if I'm doing it right with the care and all, but it hasn't eaten in 3 days and im not sure if that's ok or not, given it's still a baby, im thinking it's a bad thing and I don't know what to do. I've watched a few videos on how to care for pacman frogs and it's either im over doing it, or not doing it right for it not to eat. 😅🥲 I hope i dont kill it though. 🙏🏼

Okay I have a question because I never see my Pac-Man frog eat and he’s so skinny but it’s already been a year so idk he goes in his pond a lot so he’s getting water so idk I check on him at night he rarely comes out he’s so small and skinny so idk- Also should they have 1 light? Or 2 lights? Bc I heard that they tend to not do a lot if it’s to cold and I check his tank it’s kinda cold so I’m just wondering sorry if I sound stupid I’m a kid 😅

So do you not use drainage layers? Just asking cause confused on if I need one I use the bioactive soil you use

What about night time? Do you recommend getting a night lamp for the nighttime?

Hello 😊 I live in Slovakia and I have trouble to translate the word " top soil " in order to buy it. Is top soil regular soil that you use to grow indoor plants? P.S. I like your video very much.🎉

everyone saying cocofiber never molds, mine always molds. and I am allergic to it. it hurts my hands so much

Im thinking of getting a pacman frog and i have ose question: idont use city water mesning its not clorinated so is well water ok or should i buy the de-clorinatet

What shelf do you use for your enclosures? I am looking for a good shelf

Hey I have had my pacman for about 4 months and for the vast majority of the time it has been buried under the dirt. My temps range form about 68 at night and about 72 during the day. The tank is moist. Is this normal for a pacman to do?

I ask this group if I can use peat moss for PACs they said is bad for Pac-Man frog I was planning to make a bio active enclosure for my Pac-Man

Do the mini halogen bulbs have uvb??

What do you recommend if the substrate has tiny bugs crawling around? I’m not sure if it’s from the substrate or moisture

Do you have bowl recommendations? I dont want one heavy because he has burried underneath it. (Holds in nice heat and water under) But the bowl i have now is big because he is an adult. But he is so bad at climbing out. This was his problem with his previous bowls too. Should i be worried that he struggles a bit before getting out?

Did you make the label for the tank or do you have a link?

can it eat meat of fish meat ?

Would it be cool with a 40 gallon its whole life im not buying more than one tank

I pick mine up around Christmas time! Is an exo terra large breeding box okay for a baby? Like, literally the size of a coin?

Bad ass thank u

how long am i supposed to let my pacman frog be buried for? i keep freaking out that he is going to die and i keep digging him out every week or so, it is cold where i live right now but my “frog” room is between 70°-75° degrees and i dont understand why he is doing this???

how often do i feed it normally and how many bugs

Where can I find your Amazon link to see the products you suggested? 😅

A 10 gallon is perfectly fine for a male 20 for a female. I would not recommend going any bigger. If you're going bigger. You're doing it for yourself. They do not need that much space and it will take more time and more effort to keep the humidity in the heat in and clean. Keep it at 20. Dont be a hipster.

never ever ever put something from outside in ur animals tank. at least that’s how i feel

Bros a pet rock

Dang it! I just filled our new tank with the coco fiber stuff you don’t like 😒

On

Coconut dirt is so dry. Just absolutely terrible 😭

Can you feed them hamsters?

I am chill so I got 1

You should look for an alternative to peat. It is not sustainable and harvesting it is destroying a lot of habitats. 😕

So I'm thinking about getting one and I currently have the tank infrunt of my window should I still get lights?
