Pacman frogs are found on the forest floor in the wild, where they get little if any, UVB radiation. Avoid using UVB lights on your Pacman at all costs. Rather, D3 should be added to their diet as a supplement.

These frogs require a temperature differential in order to thermoregulate and maintain control over their body heat. This essentially means that you must create an enclosure with both a heated and a cool side to it. It is recommended that the heat elements be concentrated on one side, with a cooling element on the other. This way, your frog will be able to switch between different temperatures as needed.

The temperature on the hotter side might range between 78 and 85 degrees. Temperatures in the low 80s are good. Temperatures can be maintained throughout the cage at normal room temperatures (around 72). Temperatures can fall to as low as 70 degrees at night. Temperature gauges of high quality should be used to determine the temperatures within your enclosure. If necessary, an under-tank heat pad is the quickest and most convenient way to raise the temperature.

If your Pacman frog is just sitting in one location waiting for food, don’t be concerned – this is normal behavior for these creatures.

Pacman frogs have extremely sensitive skin and do not tolerate being handled in any way, shape, or form.

If possible, refrain from handling fresh Pacman frogs for the first 3 or 4 days to give them a chance to become used to their new environment. If you see any of the following signs of disease or discomfort in your frog, regardless of whether it is a new or established resident, contact a veterinarian immediately.

• Increasing the amount of time spent hiding

• Losing weight via consuming fewer calories or drinking fewer fluids

• Skin that has become discolored

• Swollen joints are a common occurrence.

• Expulsion of mucus from the eyes, nose, or mouth

• Droppings that have been runny for more than 2 days
