This is by far the best pacman frog tank I've seen mine loves the water too
Thanks a lot, you made my day! 😁 Yeah sometimes they just love chillin in the water
how do you change the water if it gets too pissy and poopy
I love the little pond! It does look a little deep for him at his current size but he will grow into it :)
Thanks! I have thought about that too, but it seems that he likes it. Sometimes he stays there for a long time 😁
Wouldn't he have to stay there a lot since you didn't wet the substrate? He would die if he didn't get his moisture.
Love the video! The enclosure looks great!
Thanks so much!
the pond looks great when he gets bigger he might not fit🐸😂🙂
Thanks! Yeah I think so, I might remove that rock with the moss later.
I like everything except the last part where you used tweezers to take him out. You could have just washed your hands without soap or have used powder free gloves to take the frog out.
hey, thanks for the advice! I have used my hands also to move other frogs. I will always be as gentle as possible when trying to move them.
That was so cold and unfeeling. Show the guy some Love 💓💞
A little nudge build character
Good job on the Pacman homestead.....lol. GOD bless ! Wolf from Florida.
Thanks man! I was so excited to own a pacman and prepare her an enclosure.
@@dnadesignn Someday I want to get one also.
@@GatorLife57 You must! Pacman frogs are an amazing pet.
@@dnadesignn Thanks !
I think I could find the most reliable information here. I got a Pacman frog, but the person I bought it from told me not to put any water in, because the frog could drown, and he also said that under no circumstances should I feed it worms, not grow it on a terrarium mat - in other words, the exact opposite of everything i see in this video and others. please advise me how to grow her
First of all, actually the safest way to keep a Pacman is to use water only. With these substrates there's a chance that the frog will ingest the substrate when eating. You shouldn't worry about it drowning as long as you keep the water level below its mouth. About feeding worms, as long as the worms are captive bred and germ free, it should be fine, in fact, it is one of the best foods for them. Hope this helps.
The java Fern really doesn't like it's rhizome to be covered at all. Gluing it the rock would be better for the plant.
What about a filtration system for the pond? Do you not need that since the plants or do you change water out if so how ? Trying to remake this for mine.
Hey there. A bit late but you probably wouldn’t need a filtration unit on that small of a pond, heck I doubt you’d be able to fit one, But the lava rock is very porous and great for beneficial bacteria and the plants eat the waste of the bacteria. especially that frogbit (ones that look like little lily pads) so it should stay clean
@@cyfi3214what about when the dirt and poop get in the pond? How can you clean it?
For che temperature what did you use?
Can water 💧 change need?
And this frog tank need any lid?
Yesss you can do water change every few days and I would really recommend a lid so that dust particles won't come in.
Since already got plant. Meaning the poop and pee no need to clean? Everything will be recycle?
I think cleaning is still necessary but not as often as if you don't put plants and springtails 👍
Was first worried about the size of the terrarium but then i saw the pacman xD so tiny
😂 yeah she's still a baby. So I assume that I have to rehouse her later if she become a mature female?
@@dnadesignn actually no, pacman frogs can stay in a 10 gallon forever. Once they get bigger its just gonna stay under the dirt most of the time
@@sakofinnbear5654 Ahh I see, thanks for the info!
@@sakofinnbear5654 yeah my is prolly 6 times bigger in a 10 gal and I change my coconut fiber about every 5 days for my boy the pond is wicked I'm gonna have to copy u
what invertebrates do you use to clean the tank with?
I use springtails
@@dnadesignn mk! also, how much did this setup cost? minus tank and decor, been taking notes for my own Pac-Man frog and I wanna have a estimated number to save up for.
@@munn.d0g309 well, the price must be different in different places. But without the tank and the decor, you mean the substrate and the little pond only? It costs me around $13. The expanding foam is the one that cost me the most, others are actually quite cheap.
Btw, I will upload a video on making a cheaper setup for Pacman frogs, still with a little pond but without the expanding foam. 👍
@@dnadesignn alright! tysm :) I'll keep an eye out for the video!
Does it necessarily need a screen lid i set mine up but don’t have a lid for the 10 gallon aquarium i’m using for it, i’ll try to buy one separately but will it need one?
I have 3 pacman frog enclosures without lid and they do just fine till now 👍 just make sure they can't jump out and I think a lid isn't necessary.
@@dnadesignn the only issues with having no lid is flies and bugs laying eggs and breeding inside the tank
@@tailfeather5213 yupp, it's obviously better to have a lid :)
Has the pond held up?
how will you keep the water clean in the pond? change it?
the water actually leaks slowly through the rocks and evaporates so I must refill the water regularly.
@@dnadesignn does that not end up getting swampy?
@@puncakefatty4038 not swampy, just a bit soaked
woah very nice tank,i love it,'d like to have one haha !!!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
@@dnadesignn haha,my pacman's bite doesnt hurt at all but im so scared xd
@@hnslyw5061 how big is your pacman? I don't know what if an adult pacman bites you, but true, the baby bite doesn't hurt
Woah so adult’s bite hurts?i thought only bull frog have teeth
@@hnslyw5061 yeah I've heard that their bite can bleed your finger. Never try 😂
Should post more on that enclosure lately feedings in there and such
I have a video in this channel where I feed this one 👍
Where did you get the lava sand from ?
Fish pet stores, or aquascape shops. 👍
Where do you get the lava sand? Which brand?
Sorry it has no brand, because it's quite cheap and widely sold around here. I got it from a fish store.
That is coool!!
nice!
cool !! 😍
Thanks! 😄
Thats a cute paludarium
Haha 😂 thanks!
I saw from other comments that most of the water evaporates, but what about purifying it when your Pacman uses the restroom in it? Do you have a process for that?
(I'm currently working on a bioactive terrarium for my Pacman which will have a waterfall feature. Still figuring out the best way to keep the water clean)
Maybe just take the poop out of the water regularly because the poop is clearly visible 😁 they don't always poop in the water tho.
Can you maybe make a video on that I will love to see it
@@lilreno2x29 sure, thanks for the suggestion!
@@dnadesignn Using springtails might help too. They breed in water and will eat amphibian poop :)
@@FunkyGeckos that's true!
How do you clean the water in the pool
The water will evaporate over time and also leak slowly to the substrate, so I don't clean the water, I refill it 👍
how often do you change the water out?
I refill the water every 3 days, the water slowly decrease itself by evaporating and leaking through the stones.
@@dnadesignn thanks I was wondering because your video gave me inspiration for both my new pacman enclosure and green tree frog enclosure
Wow
Theres no way expanding foam will hold the water in.it will seep through
What brand of foam do you use
Sika Boom
Thanks
How long i need to clean my tank ?
If you use springtails (decomposer), you don't need to clean the tank, if not, just take out the poops 👍
@@dnadesignn yes sir . thnk you ❤
What type of expanding foam did you use
