This guy is the man....He has even found a way to eat the little tiny cricket babies in his tank. He slaps the causing them to stick and then he licks his hand it's halarious.
in the rainforests of brazil, argentina, and uruguay horned frogs burrow and wait for rodents to ambush and eat.

"As soon as something comes into reach - another frog, lizard, snake, rodent, bird or large insects - the ornate moves its body slightly forward by pushing with its thin, short legs, grabbing and killing its prey. It takes only a gulp or two to swallow the prey whole."
they seem to be made to eat rodents imo, and i guess they do it without dying
ive heard all this stuff about the lipids building up in their bodies and making them blind because of the rodents they eat but im beginning to think if u have a large pacman u can feed it rodents every 2-3 weels and it won't die because thats how they live in the wild.
It's true that Pac-Man Frogs eat anything in the wild form other Pac-Man Frogs to rodents. This shouldn't be a normal diet though. Nice Forgs by the ways. I've been thinking of getting one myself.
ok i read a lil more and found some interesting stuff out
"if mice are the staple in the frogs diet, then the frog doesn't need to be fed as often as if crickets were the staple. that's where most hobbyists go wrong, feeding mice as frequently as they used to feed crickets."
"True but not quite. Feeding a horned frog nothing but high in fat mice and fish for years and years eventually will take its toll on the frog, no matter if you feed it in proper amounts. Just like 5, 6, 7, or 8 or more years of eating nothing but hamburgers would take its toll on you and me."
ok so im not gonna have mice as a staple, but i defend feeding it a mouse. i guess im just gonna keep his diet varied.
and plus i raised this guy on crix, so don't call me a bad example for posting a pic of a pacman frog eating a mouse. they CAN do it and its TIGHT
i agree with arlo...people just need something to complain about...how would you like it if your mom said you were never allowed to eat McDonalds ever again....MC D's is not horrible for you if you eat it once every three months like i do
