    This boy loves his big f/t mouse. We have always fed a varied diet and this is his absolute favorite. Grabs it like my kids would grab cookies.

    It does look like he enjoyed that meal. How long have you had him?

    We've had him about 2 yrs. We got all 3 of the ones in the habitat at the same time. All doing great.

    He's definitely a cutie. Although why I find a frog devouring a mouse cute, says some weird stuff about me. :oops:

    Do they make a lot of noise? (sorry for all the questions)

    If you sit quitely in the room they will start serenading. Not all the time,but it sounds so nice when they are all calling out.

    P.S. They never make a lot of noise, In fact until they get used to you, you probably won't hear anything.

    Not at all. My pacman is extremely aggressive. I wouldn't even think of housing 2 pacman frogs together. They would do their best attempted to eat whoever was smaller. The whites will live in harmony as long as there isn't a major size difference.

    They are just as easy to keep. I mist their cages 3 or 4 times a day. I only feed once or twice a week. I tended to have health issues if live food was left in the tank. When fed only 2x's weekly they would not leave crickets running about. I can put meal worms in for snacks since they can be contained in a smooth sided dish. Very easy keepers.

    Same frog. Make sure that he's big enough for the food item. They love pinkies. I only feed pinks about 1 time every 2 weeks. They rest of the time they eat their other items.

    A taller tub would work well. One of them tends to stay on the ground, the other will climb up and park in a corner for hours at a time. Both spend most of their time hiding in their log hide. I never see them climbing the tree or plants in the enclosure.

    Right on. A horned frog will gladly try to eat anything that moves,. including its own yong and its siblings, or even a frog that's bigger than itself.. not pretty!
