 Pacman Frog

Setup: 10 gal tank with coconut fiber substrate, change 1-2 times a month.

Humidity: Put a heat mat under the tank and keep it around 80 degress F, keep the substrate very moist and spray it with dechlorinated water daily. It will be humid enough.

Food: small crickets fr small pacmans, bigger pacmans can take large crickets, fish, king worms, other worms. While they can eat mice, only do this as an occasional treat. Mice are high in fat and mammal proteins are harder for the frogs to digest than insect prey. Feed 3-4 times/week for babies, and 1 or 2 times/week for adults. I try to imagine what size the stomach must be and give them about that amount each time. A couple times a week, dust the food items with a calcium/multivitamin suplement.

What T&B said! If that’s not enough for you (or you’d like more than one take on the subject), there are some very good pacman/horned frogs caresheets on this site.

As for pictures, look in my post entitled "More pics!"
