Pac man dont get over weight. I seen one the size of a dinner plate. They eat alot (hint the name), thats also why they get very big too. If you get them to the size of a plate you can sell them for like 100 bucks.

Pacmans can get over weight. They can also get the size of a dinner plate. A fat frog will be a short lived one, obesity in frogs does happen and often leads to kidney failure. A lean diet of insects, worms, and no rodents will give you a healthy frog. A healthy adult pacman can sell upwards of $250. One the size of a dinner plate is not one you should waste your money on.

A picture could help. If he looks bloated then there is a chance that he is retaining water due to an infection. If that is the case then you’d need to use antibiotics.

Otherwise pacmans are generally fat looking things. How often are you feeding him?
