Pac Man Frogs for Sale
Also called horned frogs, these funny-looking amphibians got their name from the Pac Man video game due to the shape of their head and mouth. Their median size can range from 4” to 8” long with a lifespan around 5-7 years if cared for correctly. A fit Pac Man frog is a hefty frog who maintains its weight well. A happy, healthy frog is also active, alert, has crystal clear eyes, and has healthy-looking skin. Though pretty neat to look at, these diurnal frogs are not extremely active. This is due to their carnivorous nature and how they wait to ambush their prey. Please call ahead to the store location you are planning on visiting to confirm that Pac Man frogs for sale will be available.
Pac Man Frog Diet
Pac Man frogs are carnivorous and love food such as insects like crickets and mealworms, small goldfish, and even frozen or thawed rodents. They eat more when they are younger, nearly daily, but slow down to eating only once or twice a week as adults along with vitamin and calcium supplements. Do not let your frog come in contact with soaps, detergents, or other harmful, artificial substances.
Pac Man Frog Habitat
A comfortable habitat for this frog should leave room for roaming and have plenty of hiding places. Humidity should be kept around 70%, with an average temperature of 68-78 °F. Also, a UV lighting system that is on for about half of the day is needed. Pac Man frogs like a nice, deep kind of substrate (at least 3” deep) like mulch, bark chips, soil, or big gravel rocks. Eco Earth is a great soft substrate that will allow them dig enjoyably. Typically, the Pac Man frog will prefer to live alone.
Is a Pac Man Frog Right for Me?
Pac Man frogs can be very rewarding and fun to care for whether you're a beginner or an experienced pet parent! They are very laid back pets that are great for any noise or space restricted home. However, keep in mind that any amphibious animal is capable of carrying diseases such as Salmonella, so always washing your hands after touching your aquatic pet or any of its habitat items/substances is a must. For this reason, small children and pregnant women should not handle these pets or their associated items/substances. Otherwise, these easy-going frogs are fairly easy to care for and make great pets for almost anyone!
