here is my female

did your frog puff itself up with air when you took the picture or is it actually that fat. because if it is actually that fat then you may want to think about investing in a mini tredmill for it. pacmans are notoriuos for being overeaters are it has been said that a pacman will eat itself to death if given enough food. i have never, nor would i ever, try to overfeed my pacman, but i believe that you may be doing so if that is how your pacman actually looks. you may want to consider letting your frog fast for about 2 weeks and then feeding it crickets and earthworms instead of mice for a few months untill it begins to decrease in size. i feed my 4" adult pacman a large hopper to small adult sized mouse at the most every week and a half, but usually every 2-4 weeks, usually when he comes out after digesting the last mouse, and he still gets other food besides mice on a regular basis.

here is a pic of my boy 1 week after eating a mouse, it was 2 1/2 weeks before he was ready for another. he's in a 15 gal tank.

she is always like that but i only give her a mouse a month if that. it has always been a bit big for it's age but it mostly eats dusted cricks and somtimes a meal or butter worm. it has everything it could possibly need so i am sure it is fine. just a bit overweight.
