Reptile & Amphibian Forums

My GF bought a pacman frog without knowing anything about it except that it can eat "anything". When I heard that I didnt belive it and decided to do a little research.

I have searched through these forums and I have also looked at caresheets online. Im having a hard time figuring out what is fact and fiction when it comes to care.

Now I am here again. I am looking for the basic requirements needed for this animal. I dont want this animal to die prematurely or go blind because of a rodent diet. So can anyone post a link to a caresheet that has accurate information or can post the information here.

Thanks everyone for your help

I recommend you search the frog forum for past posts because a lot of popular questions have already been answered. This is a site developed just for horned frogs:

Good Luck!

I can tell you that you're right on the money, not wanting to feed rodents. I personally had a horned frog, years ago, that had only eaten mice. I fed it mice, because I had no idea that it was bad. The frog ended up getting blind from the lipid buildup on its eyes, and dying a few months after this appeared.
I think that a great staple food is nightcrawler worms. My HF eats them like they're candy, and is doing great. I also use large crickets.
Coco fiber is the best substrate. This, deep enough for the frog to bury itself. And a shallow water bowl that is sunken into the substrate so he can get in/out easily. And change it daily!
Make sure to use a good vitamin powder like "reptivite" to prevent calcium deficiency! Follow these simple gems of wisdom, and you'll end up with a chubby little guy like this...
