My pacman frog Uma is now 3 inches. I gave he/she a pinky two days ago and he/she swallowed it whole in one gulp. Uma (used to think was a girl now looks like a boy so don't know what to do about the name right now) looked like he/she could eat three more and still be hungry, but I didn't keep feeding him/her in case of overfeeding. Is Uma large enough to tackle larger sizes yet? If so, what size? I was thinking about ordering hoppers which would be about 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches long. Or could Uma have one 2 inch to 2 and 1/2 inch weanling ( probally not what they're called, but it's a semi adult.) A response would be appreciated, thanks.

Rodents are calorically denser than a lot of the food items used for the frogs. If you are not sure then it is better to err on the side of smaller as opposed to larger as most people will not space the meals out sufficiently. I would suggest not feeding a meal larger than a fuzzy at this time.
