      But if you put a heat pad under the tank you might burn your frog due to them burring into the soil,I'd place it on the side of tank.

    To those asking about pacman frogs eating mice. I made the mistake of feeding my adult pacman a mouse once a week to twice a week. I made it his staple, which led to him developing a disorder which shortened his tongue, making it difficult for him to eat. A great staple is feeder fish.

    • @BigShrimpin416
      @BigShrimpin416 2 роки тому

      I had 3 Pacman frogs years ago and they used to eat pinkies once in a while and they were ok. I’ve never heard of it causing problems with their tongues. What happened?

    • @cynthiajohns0n442
      @cynthiajohns0n442 Рік тому

      They can have mice every 2 to 3 weeks. Because they are fatty, if u feed ur frog nothing but mice, it will make them fat & develope disorders.

I have been thinking about switching substrate to sand as it would be more natural for them but get different opinions on the impaction risk. They are on eco earth and seems ok but i dislike how it sticks to them and fouls their water dish. what do you think? thanks

  • @6_pains
    @6_pains 9 років тому +5

    First off let me start by saying that I love ALL of the videos on this channel! So informative and it's good to know that there is a pet "retail" store that is knowledgeable AND trustworthy. Now I do have a question; I'm viewing options for obtaining my first pet frog/toad and I'm considering a fire bellied toad. Seeing as to how you currently don't have a "how to set up" video for fire bellies, I was wondering if a set up similar to this one for a Pacman was suitable for a fire belly. I was considering a really nice, more terrestrial setup like this one, with a large water bowl for them to soak in but I'm not sure if this is suitable/appropriate. Thanks in advance!

    • @LLLReptile1
      @LLLReptile1  9 років тому +1

      I would say it is similar except pacmans don't need a big space at all. Fire Belly Toads like to move around a bit more. Moss, hiding spots, nice decor for fire bellies. You can find a ton of killer decor at at our website :)

    • @dehnandie4141
      @dehnandie4141 9 років тому +3

      Well I saw is and thought I'd help you out with it. Fist they like a lot of friends, the more the better in my experience. They also like a lot of water and swimming space, and still a large area of dry land to wander around on. If you have 4, 1 hide is probably what what you'd want after they are used to you. But when they are used to it 1 hide is OK as they are surprisingly active and don't really hide. I have a video on my own setup if you would check it out, I'd appreciate also if you want an idea of how to spoil your pets lol. It looks a lot better that it is in the video but I'll be doing a updated video tomorrow as I'm getting 2 new toads! That was a lot of writing... sorry
