Situation:

I have an Albino Pacman that is about 3 inches. last night, I placed a three inches soft shelled turtle (Apalone Spinifera) with him. In size comparizon, the turtle is a bit bigger than the frog. Then this morning, the turtle is nowhere to be seen.

Question:

I've seen my Pacman eat a mouse, another frog, and a lizard but can it eat a turtle? Do you think he ate it? Because I've been looking in his tank and the turtle is really nowhere to be found. I just can't imagine how he have done that. It's just too big and hard for him. Is a Pacman's digestive system that fast and can crush pray that powerful?

1: Why would you place a turtle with a pacman?
2: He most likely ate it.

Softshells have... SOFT shells. Neonate turtles also have soft shells, it take a few years for shells to harder completely.

You softshell became a nice meal for your pacman lol.

that was a really dumb thing to do dude sorry ! anything that moves and will fit in his mouth , that includes your fingers , is dinner to a horned frog, dont ever put anything living that you dont want to watch getting eaten in there , even other horned frogs
