I have a bunch C.B. bullfrog tads(babies) and I have no idea with what to do with them. Would it be ok to feed some to my pacman?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

I always get into the debates about using amphibians as feeders. Nothing bothers me more than to have someone take an animal out of the wild just to feed their pet!
However, in this case, you have captive bred animals of a species we don't necessarily need more of. I say go for it. Luckily for the pacman, this will imitate his natural diet.
For safety sake, just give one to him and then observe. You never know with amphibian toxins.

I will give him 1 and experiment with that. I was not really planning on giving him a whole lot of them.
Someone in the salamander/newt forum posted a question on catching newts and feeding them to her turtle. How disgusting. We all know what kind of responses came to that question.LOL

Yes, that is a different story. To clarify, I only advocate feeding the bullfrog tadpoles to the frog if you genuinely don't have any other use for them and they are not releasable. Since they are captive bred, they are technically not releasable, anyway.
