Hi, how do you retain the right temperature zone and keep humidity in your pacman frog's tank? I'm brand new to owning an amphibian and have noticed I have to spray down my juvenile frog's tank multiple times a day. I'm thinking about getting a timed fogger, but do you have any recommendations for heating and moisture? Super helpful tutorial. Edit: I should also note I don't have a lid for my enclosure at the moment, should I get a screen lid?
hey love the video but 2 questions If im using a heatmat will they need a heat lamp or a uvb And can i just use purecoco fiber all through the enclosure or will i need a drainage layer Thanks
Hello! I have my first pacman frog and live in a relatively cold place (winters the inside of the house can match outside temperatures). I’m thinking of getting an automatic mister and a heat light to make sure the humidity and temperature are in a safe range (10 gallon tank), what would you recommend? Would only one Arcadia deep heat projector work or do I need 2? I give my frog vitamin D3 so I’m looking for a non UVB light that won’t upset him since I am sometimes away from home for a few days straight for work.
Hey, thanks for the video. Very informative. I do have two questions I have a 20 gallon bowfront tank do you think that would be sufficient? Also, what are your feelings on using potting soil specifically mother earths brand Terra craft soil? Thanks In advance
A 20 gallon I would be good just make sure it has enough space for a thick layer of substrate And idk about the soil maybe look up to see if it is chemical free
Is that front opening tank actually for a leopard gecko? I think its definitely setup incorrectly if it is. They need at least 3 hides, with one being a moist hide.
Planning on getting a Pacman frog myself, is a lamp absolutely necessary or will they be okay without one? I absolutely will buy one if they need it :) I’m just worried about how cold it gets in my bedroom, and wouldn’t want the frog to get too cold
hey I got a Pac-man frog a few months ago and recently they haven't been eating I did however just redo his tank do you think they could just be stressed? (i say they because i have no idea what sex they are)
He could be but usually mine will start eating a day after I’ve rearranged the tank. Try feeding at night and turn off all the lights. Wait about an hour after that turn on your phone flashlight and see if he is out a little with his eyes wide open. If he is he’s definitely ready to eat
i have an albino pac man frog he has around 6 inches of substrate he’s a baby tho he’s about the size of a golf ball maybe smaller, but i’ve had him for 3 days and he hasn’t ate , my room stays at 72°F bc i also have a couple other reptiles does he need a lamp? maybe he lacks uvb? the substrate is fairly moist so im sure he’s okay i took the temp of his terrarium and it’s at 74°F am i doing something wrong ?
I have a question could I have the same setup you have here but just add isopods so they can just eat when they want and I don’t have to clean. Is that ok? Oh and do you have to feed them mice or can you just feed them isopods
i live in a really hot area that has days where my room reaches 96-100°. do you have any advice on how i can cool down my enclosure when this happens ? our AC has been out n i’ve been getting worried for my pacman
You can use a lot of garden soils but just be careful for artificial fertilizer cause they will absorb it into there skin and it can be toxic other than that most organic garden soils work great
Hello, do I need complete darkness for their day night cycle? Im kinda worried that my room will be still bright as my room need some light on at night before bed time
I love your videos thanks for all the help! I'm like truly obsessed with my pacman frog 🐸 like I love my baby pet rock that can ingulf other animals lol😊😊❤😂
Iv had issues for months having my Pac-Man frog consistently eat. He eats about once a month a few night crawlers. He’s rejected every other food Iv offered besides that. Should I force feed him he’s getting really small. He’s two years old
Sorry for the late reply, but pacmans around 2 years old should eat about once every week, but feed him more during the feeding. I had the same problem, also get a temperature gun to monitor his temperature. I know you might hear that alot but after finding out my buddy was 68.8 degrees, i warmed him up then he ate 2 whole crickets! Keep in mind, mine is a baby
@@brannonwallace450 ok than i am going to really hate - He describes his Philosophy about animal husbandry.. says that he want to mimic as close as possible their natural Habitat - Than we see a 10 Gallon Tank filled halfway with dirt, a waterbowl and 2 fake Plants .. i mean come on seriously ? You can really do better for your Animal
70-80 I think is too narrow. Most houses will dry out a tank really fast so that’s why I say 50-80. 60 -80 is pretty ideal but for people who live in houses with AC and heat it is very difficult to keep it so high or even people who live in very dry climates. Mine are doing fine and are 3+ years old now.
Hi! I had the same problem, I started freezing the soil for a few days, then letting it sit out and get to room temp before putting it in the tank. No more flies!
My frog is now a year old and I have been using the coco fiber Sphagnum Peat Moss soil and he is now overweight and flipping over. I am so worried about him.
I feed my pac man frog crickets and I don’t really know how much I should put in there at a time or if I should keep them in there for a few days, can anyone help me with what I should do
You should definitely have plenty of soil like EcoEarth (coconut fiber). B/c they like to burrow into dirt. They're not aquatic frogs, they suck at swimming.
Yeah it’s called estivation but it’s the same thing just a form of hibernation. Mine do it right after it’s officially winter and you can really feel the cold they will burrow and stay down until it’s over then be out everyday.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse my frog has never done this thankfully Maybe it's because I keep the tank warm all the time and the room the tank is in also doesn't get very cold
I disagree with you about exo terra enclosures they ate perfect for pacmans. U build the substrate up so its deeper at back for burrow. You actually see more of their natural behaviour in an exo tank. Peat is terrible for environment 😊
No worries I’ve changed my mind watch my new guide I had a complete turn around haha. Also I know but there isn’t other options. Repti soil is peat. Top soil is peat. There’s just no regular dirt. The landscaping businesses just only use peat.
Nice vid very informative - I was hoping to see a hamster dinner at the end, but regardless it’s very informative. Living in South Texas I wish I could just let them loose in the house to control the cockroaches.
Short and packed with the right information. Thank you! 👌
Thank you. Very helpful.
Happy to help
Thank u so much I just got a Pacman frog and I knew kinda a lot but, this helped a lot more with the tank!
Thank you so much! This is very helpful
Happy to help
Thank you! A brilliant video 😊
Do you ever have to change out the substrate? And if so, how would you do it?
You just scoop out some of the substrate and add new substrate. :D
I'm getting a pacman frog soon ! Thanks for this helpful video
Happy to help
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I have got most of the setup ready, I just need a heatmat and a water dish then I will buy the pacman frog.
Why did i read this as “how to care for pac-man”
Haha now I can’t read it any other way.
pac man's usually eat ghosts, so you're gonna wanna feed them your family
Same

Happy to help!
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse also, I see some people use gloves when they remove the babies from enclosure. Is that necessary??
@@Courtneyeverage yeah because frogs absorb stuff through there skin so if you have lotions or even our oils from our skin can irritate them
yo I love the how to super helpful ty
Happy to help
How often you do change the substrate? Would it molding be a problem?
Not if you add springtails
thanks for the info I will be getting one pretty soon so this is very helpful
question:I have a 20 gallon High tank it’s not too long but not not too tall can a male pac man frog live comfortably in it
Is it possible to make a bioactive ecosystem for this type of frog or will eat all the isopods and springtails?
I keep mine bioactive and they don’t eat them. It’s very possible to go bioactive with these guys
hey love the video but 2 questions
If im using a heatmat will they need a heat lamp or a uvb
And can i just use purecoco fiber all through the enclosure or will i need a drainage layer
Thanks
If using a heat mat don’t use a heat lamp. Uvb lamp is still a good option though. Dont need a drainage layer
Great video! how do I go about getting info tags similar to yours that I've seen in a few videos?
Thank you! They do sell them online but I made these myself
Sweet! Do you have a template or a link to some. I think yours look great and are the perfect size.
@@nicotarantola6837 I don’t but soon I’ll make a website and have em on there
How often do you clean the water bowl and do you use soap? -if so what kind etc or basically how do you reccomend maintaining the water bowl 😅
So I clean it daily or every other day I don’t use soap just scrub with a brush or a sponge and use water from the tap

Do feel mesh lids work well enough for humidity, or would a glass lid be necessary?
My mesh lids do fine haven’t ever had issues really
Should you change out the substrate at some point? If it gets used for a while wouldn’t of become really messy or unclean?
Yes you can I would do it every 6 months or 1 year
Is that front opening tank actually for a leopard gecko? I think its definitely setup incorrectly if it is.
They need at least 3 hides, with one being a moist hide.
Old video updated husbandry for my leopard geckos 😁

It depends how cold the room is. If it’s in the 60s you can get a very low wattage lamp for sure

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you so much and ill update this if it works
update: he ate and I'm so thankful he ate 2 full nightcrawlers last night
Do you think I could use a vintage 70s plastic terrarium for a pac man?
As long as it’s not smaller than a 10 gallon you should be good
FROOOOOOGGGGGGGGG❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Da frog!
Very interesting video
Easier than i thought i already have most of the stuff i just need light 💀
Nice!

i should add i got him 3 days ago so it could be he’s getting used to his new environment? but he’s a baby i know they need to eat more
I have a question could I have the same setup you have here but just add isopods so they can just eat when they want and I don’t have to clean. Is that ok?

i should mention it’s not every day, but so far it’s happened twice in 4 day increments
My AC went out as well last year same temps in my room. What I did was put a fan on and sprayed him twice a day with cold water
Thank you I was gonna buy a pac man frog video was very helpful and I subscribed
about the substrate, how come u gotta use these specific substate when u can just get garden soil.
You can use a lot of garden soils but just be careful for artificial fertilizer cause they will absorb it into there skin and it can be toxic other than that most organic garden soils work great
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse is there a way for me to check the chemical level in the garden soil?
@@Bobithan it’s usually small round clear balls filled with liquid or it will say on the bag

@ChiefSweetsUniverse you do? Let me Comb thru and look
Hey Chief its m4 from twitch just watched the crested gecko vid and said this guys sounds familiar lmao. Hope your doing good.
haha no way! small world
Does it matter the type of top for the tank, i got a pacman about a month ago, and im using a screen lid, is that ok?
Yeah screen lid is ok
I'm looking for a small frog.
From what I've read online male pacs only grew from 3 to 4 inches.
Is it true ?
Yes they are smaller than the females

How do you maintain humidity?
I have an updated Pac-Man frog video that explains it.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse oh ok, thanks!
Can i feed Pacman Frog a normal housefly ?
Should the coco fiber stay moist for the frog
Yes you want it moist but not swampy
do they croak at night and keep you awake?
They do croak but it’s not constant just every now and then you’ll hear it.
Didnt know they had Photo-Backgrounds in South America..
Hater
He obviously means the INSIDE of the tank.

For a baby yes

@@aschroeder6675 from what i learned, they can use 10 gallons but once adults they need 20 gallon breeder tanks which are the long 1s
50-80% humidity? I keep hearing between 70 and 80. I've been fighting to try and keep it there
70-80 I think is too narrow. Most houses will dry out a tank really fast so that’s why I say 50-80. 60 -80 is pretty ideal but for people who live in houses with AC and heat it is very difficult to keep it so high or even people who live in very dry climates. Mine are doing fine and are 3+ years old now.
@Chiefs Universe I appreciate the help man. We keep our ac at 60
@@brianjames5781 haha that’s pretty cold. You may throw a very low wattage heat lamp on his tank. Just to get him to mid 70s
Hi all, how do I stop having those little flies coming out of the soil ? I keep to soil moist and therefore somehow they appear ^^
Hi! I had the same problem, I started freezing the soil for a few days, then letting it sit out and get to room temp before putting it in the tank. No more flies!
The sand doesn't cause impaction?
Nope
Hey dude do you use a tank lid? Can it cause problems with air flow/ventilation? My room is like 18 degrees you see
I do use a lid because I use lighting and it sits on the lid if your room is that cold you will need a heat lamp for sure
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thanks dude
how often should i feed my pacman frog?
I have a new Pac-Man guide that goes into that here th-cam.com/video/Xe5wLRYhI2M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0bAptWX7L2gWr1Dw
My frog is now a year old and I have been using the coco fiber Sphagnum Peat Moss soil and he is now overweight and flipping over. I am so worried about him.
Sometimes when they flip over it’s too wet and they are trying to dry off
Can you have more then one in the tank ???
No don’t put more than one in a tank. They are Cannibalistic and will eat each other
hi im new to having a pacman frog and he is a teen and he is not eating? why is he not eating?
Make sure it’s warm. Not too warm but you do want it low 80s
Not so easy! Mine keep dying. I have many different kinds of frogs and these are the only ones I have problems with .
I keep mine pretty moist at all times. People do keep there’s in coco fiber which I notice drys out really fast it could be a moisture problem.
I feed my pac man frog crickets and I don’t really know how much I should put in there at a time or if I should keep them in there for a few days, can anyone help me with what I should do
Don’t keep them in for too long. I’d say a day take them out. I usually tong feed just to make sure he eats.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you
