New Pet...a Pac Man Frog

[Catherine]

I just couldn't resist getting the little guy. I love the weird and wonderful pets.
Keeping him wet is really important so I have him in a clear plastic container. I have plenty of those because of snake breeding. It has air holes in the lid, but it really holds the moisture. Also the set up is filled with cocoanut bark/peat moss with sphagnum moss on the top. Because of my other weird creatures those are common household items.

He eats crickets...also a common household item. My place is warm enough for him so I do not need special heating.

When he gets bigger he will eat mice, something that I always have in the freezer because of the snakes.

He doesn't move around much, but he is fun to watch. I don't think frogs do well if you handle them. I don't plan to handle him much. He is more a pet to be watched in an interesting set up. When he is really big I can set up a seriously interesting wet terrarium with a pond and maybe even a few fish in it. I do have a spare tank I can use.

I have been looking at pac man frogs for a while and his colour is so amazing. Or should I say Excellent! Party on Garth.(the name is from the movie Wayne's World and I think it works.)
