I just got my first one the other day. I was set to take care of a adult. I ended up with a baby. I have had him for 4 days now. He has eaten once since then, he has not pooped that I have seen any way, he has eaten. I have bathed him once. I am going to get raw honey and give it a honey bath just for good measure, I may do this monthly for my frog. Every one says they are easy to care. They are and they are not.lol. But they are good starter frog. I named mine little P. He will get baths a couple times a week, I tong feed in a special feed tank, I don't want him eating dirt and such. Which I fear this has happened from being in the pet store, and not having enough moisture either.
@@mellewedin8221 Hello! thank you for sharing this! Amazing that you got a little baby pacman frog! A bath a month sounds perfect in my opinion!! You're defiantly right that the make perfect starter frogs! :)
You are right. There are very few pac man bathing videos. Personally, I hate looking up pac man TH-cam videos in general because there are so many *live feeding* videos and the thumbnails alone make me uncomfortable. Thank you for making this video!
I was literally thinking about this the other day... How is it even legal to put up videos like that on here... And it's not like just one.. 99% of all pac man videos is that SH*T.. It really makes me frustrated. I'm glad you liked my video! :)
Your video actually just saved my frog from a prolapse, so I just want to say sincerely, thank you and my frog would thank you too. Have a great day! 😁 Thank you.
Does this work for whites tree frogs? I’ve heard of people using honey baths to clear bowel blockages for them but I’m having trouble finding instructions anywhere😅
Never heard of "floating honey" until now. My new pacman (got him as a baby 3 weeks ago from an expo) has been acting strange and eating less lately so I was considering a honey bath. If I hadn't looked it up and found this video, I absolutely would've gotten something fake and made the whole point moot, so I am very glad you specified here. You make it seem so straightforward so I'm sure I got this, but wish me luck anyways!
I just subscribed to your channel and really enjoy your videos. I want to get a pacman frog myself and I look at information since months now and still didn't even know putting honey in the water was an option. where i live(Flensburg, Northern Germany) the water is also of very high quality because we get it from Norway. I also think its really cool to see a Scandinavian exotic pet keeper. I have family in Sweden and am part of the danish minority here but I haven't seen many people in Scandinavia that are interested in keeping animals like that.
That's so awesome! Thank you so much! I hope you can get a pac man one day. They are awesome 😊 The hobby isn't that big up here, but there are still quite many people. Not to many on social media tho! 😊
@@JohanExoticGlobal I could get one right but I resist the urge to do so for a bit. I just like to be as informed as possible before I get a new pet. Also I want to wait a little to get a new frog or tarantula because I'm in the adoption process for a blind cat from Bulgaria right now so I will have to put a lot of time into that for a while (most of my pets are rescues). Actually a shame that not many reptile or exotic pet keepers from the northern part of Europe are on social media. I visit friends and family in Sweden sometimes (borås, emmaboda, Stockholm... ) but I would love to get in contact with more people that like those kind of animals just as much as me. But I really like your content and I already found a lot of helpful advice for all kinds of animals I still want to get!
So when I give mine a bath. I use a very low watt heating pad. I cover it with a dish cloth so there is something between it and the tank my frog. I have a thermometer that stays in there. The water stays at 80 which isn't to cool, or too warm. Then I do not have mess with water I have treat mine. I let sit for 2 days before adding water conditioner to neutralize heavy metals that are lingering
aaah!! Very smart! I might start use a heating pad as well. Very good tip to keep the water from getting to cool. Thank you so much for leaving these comments!! :)
No way!! This is amazing to hear.. I will try this to one of my geckos tonight. She seem to be feeling a bit under the weather and her apatite has gone down..
@@JohanExoticGlobal Yeah poor little Splodge pictured < he’s my most lively gecko now. Yes I gave him wedderspoons raw Manuka honey when he was very poorly . He was loosing weight. It was out of desperation as he was only 2.29 at 5 grams old . He was a rescue . Now I just give them all a blob of raw honey once a week in their diet mix . All the best for your gecko ..... I have your crested gecko T shirt and 2 mugs 😁
@@mypetsandme9473 No way! Pixie is feeling a bit down and is loosing weight! I will 100% try this!!! Thank you for sharing this with me!! I'm so glad you got the shirt and mugs!! :)
I don't know what regular honey is. But I bought mine in the normal grocery store. So that should be regular honey right? So I think you should be fine! 😊👌
I'm so sorry for this delayed reply! As long as it's raw organic honey it should be perfectly fine! I have after then clip heard people that only use the runny honey! So you should be fine using that.
I see! Well this is the most "real" honey" that you can get hold of here. I don't know how to het that floating honey straight from the hive. That would defiantly have been the best! Thanks Bradley!
So, I thought the same thing at first, but raw manuka honey (which is widely considered to be not only some of the purest honey, but also the most effective when it comes to medicinal properties) has that same thickness and lighter coloring as what you’re referring to! It definitely can throw ya off lol!
@@gaywaterfrog So I'm confused. Would the honey I used still be okay, or are you suggesting that I should get a hold of raw manuka honey? Not really sure what that is to be honest. Thank you for sharing this!
@@JohanExoticGlobal I was just pointing out that even though it may look like a spread to us, it may very well be (and probably is since I know you’re very careful!!) excellent quality honey! 😊 As I understand it, as long as the only ingredients listed are raw honey, you’re good to go!
That is a really good question! I must say that I actually don't know the answer to this question.. A quick google search is saying that they should not be exposed to temperatures over 85°F or 29,4°C. Not sure if this apply to the water since this is meant for air temperature.
propolis is mostly pollen and beeswax so i dont see it mixing very well in the water but i would assume it would be just as safe as honey since they both come from the same hive
I honestly do not know... Just a bath I feel wouldn't be needed, since they are not in dirt all day like pac man frogs. But if it's injured, it might help.. BUT I'm really not sure.. It might be dangerous and even deadly..
Definitely, thankfully we only gave him a honey bath for about 5 minutes. So for white tree frog owners, **DONT** give a honey bath for costipation. Instead just give a lukewarm bath with no honey, feed soft foods and foods high in water (such as hornworms and worms), and if the frog appears to be eating the substrate/moss, replace the moss with a softer moss. This is what I got from searching on the web. Anyways, my frog was fine after some soaking, but just for future frog owners that are struggling with their frogs constiation.
I would personally not do that. I have actually never heard someone say anything like that before. If you're not feeding mice in the varied diet. Then you can use calcium powder on the feeders. That should be enough. At least from ny experience. But I feed Snoop Frog a mouse every now and then, so I rarely dust my bugs. :) Sorry for the late reply!!
@@JohanExoticGlobal oh ok thx for replying! Google sucks as it doesnt tell me if its ok. I got some cuttlebones for my turtle and like i was hesitating whether or not my frog can also eat them
@@wurtle4862 I honestly don't know. I wouldn't be to worried about it tho. Sandra has covid for a week at my place and neither I or any of my animals showed any symptoms:)
Hmm...I'd have to see some research on this. I'm not saying it isn't possible that this is beneficial, but dipping a frog in sugar water doesn't seem like the best idea.
haha I do not blame you!! And from what I heard, not sure if this is true, but you can not just do this to any frog. But for pacman frogs it really is magical. I have seen videos and had friends that really had their frog do a complete turn around after doing this honey bath! Pretty cool!
Do you keep a pacman frog? How often do you bathe it? 😊
All hail the mighty Snoop Frog 🐸

got my first pac man frog,thanks for the video. greetings from germany
do you recommend putting springtails in the enclosure? and does that make it so you have to swap substrate less often?
My dog!!!!! The man is back!! Let's goooo!!
You know it!! Thanks for the support bro!
Hi, do you recommend brushing your Pacman frog to remove substrate. Can I do that?
great video, very imformitive. Keep up the great work
Thank you and thanks for watching!! :)

is it safe to feed while in water or bathing? like the frog wont be swallowing too much water will it?
Very interesting! I think I’ll give this a try with my PacMan frog! 👌🏼
its best to use raw organic honey if you do it

About baby pacman, what food is good for them ?
As long its not bigger than pacman head, it will be fine

Cool! Thx
Thank you for watching!! :)
I used Pedialyte when I don't have honey and my frog loves it.
does the honey have to be that thick honey? i have a bottle of honey that says "raw honey" but its runny like how he said to NOT use.
I'm so sorry for this delayed reply! As long as it's raw organic honey it should be perfectly fine! I have after then clip heard people that only use the runny honey! So you should be fine using that.
haven't kept a packman frog, but still like to learn about animal care...
That's awesome that you still want to learn about them!! :)
honey baths also help a constipated Pac-man frog
Right! I heard the usually poop when they take a bath lol
the honey you used looks more like a honey spread, Its best to use raw organic honey

I have been taking the critter tank and placing it within the 10 gallon tank during baths. This keeps the water warm.
That's really smart! I know placing a heat mat under helps as well :)
What is the warmest temperature water you can use ?
