Re: Pacman, who's got em?
I used to own quite a few. They're hardy little frogs, and darn near impossible to kill. In my opinion, they're like little tanks! When they get to a larger size, watch your fingers when removing them from a cage. I have been bitten When you keep them...don't feed them vertebrate prey, other than a snack, or treat here or there every couple months. Some people feed them a main diet of mice and rats, just because they think its cool. Really all they're doing is killing the animals kidney and liver. It shortens the animals live substantially, when fed a main diet of rodents. They do much better on invertebrate prey. Mine flourished on roaches, butterworms, waxworms, and earthworms. Grew quite fast, to tell you the truth. They do bark, and boy do they do it well! They even growl! The bark sounds more like a quack, but it's hilarious! IMO, they're one of the hardiest, best frog species to care for, and keep. They don't require as strict a care (other than diet) than other frog species, as well as being more durable/less fragile. I'd go for it!
Here's some help to boot, on getting feeders, and containers for them.
Feeders-
Armstrong Crickets
Big Apple Herp, live feeders
Fluker Farms
LLL Reptile, live feeders
Kelly Swift/Swift Invertebrates
Supplies-
The Bean Farm
Superior Enterprise
LLL Reptile
Big Apple Herp
ProExotics
Amazon Reptile Center Supplies I highly recommend the Invert Soil for them 
Some tips to help with care. Keep them warmish, around 78-80F or so. Just don't let it creep too high (Over 81-82F or so)I highly recommend feeding roaches. Theyre more nutritional, and healthier for your frog, than crickets or meal worms. Butter Worms, and Waxworms are excellent feeders as well! The frogs seem to love them too. Lobster roaches, and Hissers, I've seen some of the best results with. Keep the cage humid, but not damp. Most people keep these frogs damp, or wet. I've noticed when this is done, they kind of develop skin sores, etc. Have a dish of clean water in the cage, for the animal to soak in when need be. Have the dish filled about a 3rd the animals height, with water. Don't use regular sink/tap water, as it contains chlorines, n such that will harm your frog, internally. Peat moss/Sphagnum moss, I've seen excellent results with. It keeps the frog healthy, and the habitat humid, without leaving the tank soggy, and damp. get your animal some naturalistic hiding spots...such as some bamboo shoots, or driftwood, that the animal can hide under/start a burrow under. Give them some cover as well, such as moss.
Well hopefully this jumbled mess helps out Good luck with your soon to be, new frog! They're definitely my favorite species to keep! Well worth the effort!
