Recommended Terrarium Size: Pac-Man frogs are sit-and-wait predators. They spend the majority of their time burrowed into the substrate with their eyes (and horns in some species) above the substrate. Because of this, caging does not need be spacious. Babies can be kept in small, plastic reptile enclosures, whereas adults can be housed in enclosures of 10 to 20 gallons.
Temperature: They do best when kept in the mid-high 70s. At Josh's Frogs, we house our Pac-Man frogs at 74-78F. Temperatures in the high 80s F can quickly be fatal, especially when coupled with a lack of water or humidity.
Humidity: Pac-Man Frogs require moderately high humidity, and are best kept at 60-70% humidity. Providing ventilation is very important - we recommend using at least a half screen top. Stagnant, humid conditions quickly leads to bacterial skin infections in Pac-Man Frogs. A large dish of clean water should always be provided. Monitor humidity with a digital hygrometer.
Size: At the time of sale, captive bred Pac-Man frogs from Josh’s Frogs will measure about the size of a silver dollar and be between 8 and 12 weeks old. These frogs grow quickly and can reach adult size in 10-12 months. Females may be up to 5" in length, with males slightly smaller.
Age: With proper care, Pac-Man frogs can live up to and over 5 years. Reports of 8-10 year old animals abound, and many hobbyists routinley keep Pac-Man frogs for 4-5 years. All Pac-Man frog froglets sold by Josh's Frogs are 8-12 weeks old.
Feeding: At the time of sale, captive bred Pac-Man frogs from Josh’s Frogs have been chowing down on 1/2″ crickets and pieces of nightcrawlers for several weeks and growing like weeds! As adults, Pac-Mans will easily eat adult crickets, dubia roaches, and whole nightcrawlers.
Color/Pattern: This is in the 'Samurai' morph of Cranwell's Horned Frog, and tends to be mostly bluish green to teal in color, with a creamy white belly and brown spots. These frogs are offspring from frogs know to produce "mutant" morphs of pac man frogs. This can result in complete or partial loss of coloration or development of abnormal coloration. The number of spots and intensity of color can vary quite a bit.
Social Behavior: These frogs are loners, and will eat each other. Housing them individually is strongly recommended. Even when starting out with several frogs, when housed together you'll typically end up with one.
