@@ChiefSweetsUniverse also, I see some people use gloves when they remove the babies from enclosure. Is that necessary??

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

@@Courtneyeverage yeah because frogs absorb stuff through there skin so if you have lotions or even our oils from our skin can irritate them

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME ADDING TIMBERLINE TOP SOIL TO MY SUBSTRATE MIX OR WITHOUT IT?

[@rhago]

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?

how do you grab the live insect with tongs or do you just dump them in the tank

[@Agents_headset]

Honestly i watched alot of videos and i would say tongs but if it doesn’t eat with the tongs then drop it in

[@Leccybike]

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

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

If using a heat mat don’t use a heat lamp. Uvb lamp is still a good option though. Dont need a drainage layer

[@9tailed1]

Do feel mesh lids work well enough for humidity, or would a glass lid be necessary?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

My mesh lids do fine haven’t ever had issues really

[@soupsangwich]

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

[@TomatoFroggo]

Should you change out the substrate at some point? If it gets used for a while wouldn’t of become really messy or unclean?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Yes you can I would do it every 6 months or 1 year

[@TheMJGram]

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.

[@dldfarm]

My Pac-Man is 4 years old now and she’s the best easiest pet we’ve ever had. 😊

[@ohravyndaniella1892]

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 😅

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

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

Is it possible to make a bioactive ecosystem for this type of frog or will eat all the isopods and springtails?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

I keep mine bioactive and they don’t eat them. It’s very possible to go bioactive with these guys

[@Bobithan]

about the substrate, how come u gotta use these specific substate when u can just get garden soil.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

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

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 ?

[@chuyitosjm]

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

[@genericwhitefemale6752]

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.

[@nat_is_a_psychopath9371]

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)

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

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

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

[@dazzlingelf691]

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

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

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

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

do they croak at night and keep you awake?

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

[@tirellstevens3294]

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

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!

No don’t put more than one in a tank. They are Cannibalistic and will eat each other

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

[@brianjames5781]

50-80% humidity? I keep hearing between 70 and 80. I've been fighting to try and keep it there

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

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.

[@brianjames5781]

@Chiefs Universe I appreciate the help man. We keep our ac at 60

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.

Haha if you had a little setup in the corner they would do good.

[@numajoff]

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 😊

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

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.
