Baby Pacman Frog (Horned Frog) for Sale

• Excellent frog for beginners. They grow to 4-6 inches and live up to 10 years. Read all about them in our article.

• They are commonly known as "Pac Man" frogs because of their fairly round shape and really large mouth, which makes them resemble the popular video game character. They are also called “Horned Frogs” due to the presence of horn-like fleshy knobs on the top of their eyes.

• They are mainly inactive and so do not need a large habitat, even though the frog can get large. PacMans are interesting and attractive pet frogs, but do not expect much movement except at feeding time.

• PacMan frogs are aggressive eaters and hunt by ambush. They are carnivorous, feeding on insects and any other animal it is able to swallow. They can even be cannibalistic so you can only have one horned frog per tank – otherwise you may find one missing the next day.

• These frogs prefer the ground to climbing like tree frogs. The special PacMan frog tank we offer is made for them so they have lots of room to roam around on the ground.

• PacMan frogs are usually comfortable at room temperature, but if your home is cold you should consider a heat light for extra warmth. These frogs like high humidity. Using moist coconut bedding on the bottom helps to hold the humidity, as well as daily misting. The frog habitat we offer is made to maintain temperature and humidity but purchasing a humidity gauge and thermometer can help make sure their needs are met. You’ll also want to offer them a water dish to soak in.

• PacMan frogs can not be housed together; however, our PacMan frog tank has a divider so you can get 2 frogs if you’d like, so long as they are kept with the divider in place.

*Always Wash Your Hands Both Before And After Handling Frogs or their Habitat* 

Getting Ready for your Pet PacMan:
Set up the habitat as soon as it arrives. The frog will come separately via Overnight shipment and your habitat should be ready for it upon arrival.

When Your Pet Frog Arrives:
Frogs are delicate and are not tolerant of much handling. We suggest children under 5 not be allowed to touch the frog and older children only with close supervision.

Your pet PacMan Frog has arrived by Overnight shipment so he is in transit for as short a time as possible. However even a short trip will make him unhappy. Frogs express stress by turning a dark color and not moving much. So do not be alarmed if upon arrival his colors aren’t what you expect (dull or even brown) or he’s not very active. Wash your hands and make sure there is no lotion or soap on them. Hold the shipping container over the habitat so that if he jumps out unexpectedly, he will not have a long fall. Gently pick up the frog and place him into the habitat and securely snap on the lid. Immediately wash your hands to avoid getting a rash from oils found on the skin of frogs. Keep his transportation container, as it’s a convenient place to put him when you do your habitat cleaning.

Give him a few days to adjust to his new home and start being happy, active and colorful. 

Know your Frog:
Knowing your frog and understanding how to cater to its unique needs is important when you get one as a pet. They are called a ‘pet’ but frogs are not actually a pet you  ‘play with.’ Rather, they are to be appreciated in the habitat similar to watching a fish tank.

PacMan frogs are native to most of the South American rain forests in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina.

PacMan frogs are mainly inactive and so do not need a large habitat, even though the frog can get large. PacMans are interesting and attractive pet frogs, but do not expect much movement except at feeding time.

PacMan frogs are aggressive eaters and hunt by ambush. They are carnivorous, feeding on insects and any other animal it is able to swallow. They can even be cannibalistic so you can only have one horned frog per tank – otherwise you may find one missing the next day!

Feeding:
The PacMans are not particular on their food…if it moves and they can catch it, they will happily eat it.  They do need movement to recognize food, so they will not eat dead food sources. Crickets, worms and other small creepy crawlies form the bulk of the frog’s diet.  They have been known to eat small fish like guppies or even pinky mice as they reach adult size.  They can recognize routine –if you feed them at the same time every day you’ll start to find them waiting for their lunch. Any uneaten prey should be removed from the enclosure the next day to prevent dead insects from polluting the frog’s environment. Every-other feeding we suggest you sprinkle a little calcium or multivitamin powder onto the bugs before you drop them into the habitat.  While small pacman frogs should be fed daily, larger frogs can be fed less frequently. The best guide is to feed based on your frog's body condition - if your frog is getting too round and fat, cut back how often it is fed.

Caring for PacMan Frogs:

Temperature: Frogs are cold-blooded, meaning they can’t regulate their body temperature on their own. A heater is not usually necessary as these frogs are comfortable in room temperature, but if your home is cold you should consider a small heat light for extra warmth.

Humidity: These frogs like high humidity. You can help keep the humidity high by using a plant mister to spray the habitat with water once a day or more. Air conditioners lower the humidity of the room so if you have one on, you must give your frog’s habitat a few more sprays of water to make sure he doesn’t get dehydrated. Coconut Husk bedding is good to use because it helps to retain moisture in the habitat. You’ll also want to offer them a water dish to soak in. It has to be shallow so they don’t drown.

Cleaning: Make sure the habitat is always clean. If you move the frog into another container to clean his habitat, gently lift him with your fingers being careful not to poke, pinch or squeeze him. If he feels threatened, he may bit you. Or possibly mistake you for a food item, so be cautious. You must also be very careful when you clean your frog’s habitat. They are extremely sensitive to soaps and detergents. Using only hot water, rinse the habitat and décor. Remove dirty substrate bits or replace the entire substrate.  Always wash your hands after handling the habitat contents.  

What if I can no longer care for my Frog?
These frogs live a long time. If there’s ever a reason you can no longer take care of it, please do not release the frog outside. He can not survive outside temperatures and he may not have learned to hunt on his own.  Some suggestions: find a friend or neighbor who would like a pet frog, or donate it to a school for a wildlife display, or give it to a local pet shop who can possibly find it a home.
