what else can i feed my pac man besides crickets, if people say gold fish are bad for them?

also i tried feeding my frog the other day and he didnt eat.. is it possible for them not to eat for a day or 2?

thanks
steve

I feed mine superworms, crickets, rosy feeder fish, and mice hoppers. Also, 2-3 days without him eating is nothing to be worried about. He'll eat when he's hungry.

My adult female Pac man has gone as long as 2 months with out food, she just didnt want to eat. They sometimes need a rest from their growing also, so they wont eat for maybee a week or week and a half.

That is still true to this day.

No fish, no mice. Hissing cockroaches, nightcrawlers, mealies, waxies, super mealworms, tomato horn worms, silk worms, crickets, grasshoppers, the list goes on and on. Any make good diets. It is possible for frogs to OD on calcium from goldfish, in effect, and mice can cause blindness from lipid buildup, as well as liver failure and premature death. I will post a pic soon of what happened to my african bullfrog from a mouse a month. Feed inverts...you will have a happier, healthier frog. Andy

do you recommend one of the insects you told me about over the others. i really want my frog to live nice ang grow big, but i am still confused wat to feed him.

also can you tell me what you feed yours. and a schedule ( i know it souunds stupid but i'd appreciate it ). like opn monday what you feed him then tuesday and so on.

thanks steve

I feed mine about once or twice a week. I have lots of feeders around so I just toss in whatever I have. Nightcrawlers, crickets, and hissers make a great staple while the others should be used more sparingly. There is no set feeding guide...feed until the frog seems full. When it digests all of its food, wait a few days and feed again. Then just wait and judge by the frogs overall appearence. If it is looking too fat, cut back. If it is too skinny, beef it up some. Good luck. Andy
