I just got a Pacman Frog. Where can I learn about its proper care?

Yes, she appears normal. She doesn't look that green but that may be the lighting. You should review your husbandry and make sure you are doing everything 100% correct. ( http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Pac-Man-Frog/ )

thanks for reaching out about Autumn. Reptile Magazine has several good articles. Pristine water quality and a well-rounded diet is imperative. Large 55+ gallon aquarium with haul out area, heat lamp for water and basking, UVA and B radiation exposure. A wide variety of insects including crickets, mealworms, earthworms and any other insects from the outdoors or garden, as long as no pesticides are used. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about your Pacman frog. A wide variety of insects is best, and they should be gut loaded to provide additional nutrition. The type of fish more depends on the size of the fish and frog. Minnows or guppies should be fine for most smaller frogs. Good luck.

Pac-Man frogs love to burrow and so they require a substrate that they can dig in to. The substrate should be damp to keep his skin from drying out. .Pac-Man frogs have teeth and they can and will draw blood if you don't watch out and stick your finger in front of them. In general handling should occur only when absolutely necessary as their skin is very sensitive and needs to stay moist at all times. So if you remove the frog from the moist substrate and hold him, his skin may dry out and get damaged. Better just observe him than handle him.

Thanks for your question - to find a veterinarian in your area, you can check the AAFV or ARAV websites. Additionally, UC Davis is a couple of hours from you, and they have a department at their veterinary school that will see both fish and frogs. For the rock size - you are correct - you want to have larger rocks so that your frog doesn’t accidentally ingest any of them. For your last question about the spasms - without further description I would be unable to determine if this was normal or not, but I would recommend ensuring that you have a complete and balanced diet for the species of frog that you have. Nutritional deficiencies can be very common in frogs, and can result in “spasms” in them. I hope that helps to answer your questions, and good luck!

Hello. This is a common Red Eared Slider & there is a ton of information available online, in books & at pet stores on the proper care of these turtles. Please inform yourself the best you can to give this little guy the best chance possible to have a long life. They can make very good pets. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Oh goodness, That is very concerning. Does he eat live prey? Perhaps there was an altercation? I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by a veterinarian . He likely needs antibiotics. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
