Pacman Frog Question

[Austin S.]

I was sleeping earlier and woke up to my 4" Pacman croaking pretty load. I got up to check on him and he seemed to be okay. He was burried under the bed a beast. Is it normal for them to do this? Do you think this individual is large enough to mate and is making these noises b/c of it? He/she has done it before, but only when I'm in the room, or am talking near by...

Yep, he's okay. Mine just spouted off a few minutes ago. Like Moose said, it's supposed to be a sign that they are healthy and content in their environment. Of course, that only works for males, the females do not call as far as I know.

Sometimes I can trick mine into calling by playing this YouTube video and turning up the sound a bit. It doesn't work very often, though. Give it a try if he is in the same room as your PC.

Your pacman is fine! It's just a male doing a little singing

dude that is an insane call they have

That's cool! I wish I could tell what sex mine is. I think it's a female but it's only about 3" so it's hard to tell.

I just gave my guy a bath and he croaked up a storm, it was so cool. I guess he loves baths!

Take that as good sign your male might be able to breed if you so desire.

Well he is only at 4" tops right now. How big do the males get??

Males are smaller than females...I recall about 5 inches for the males and significantly bigger for the females.
