How to care for Cranwell's pacman frog Pacman Frogs: the sections below follow the pacman frogs baseline — we do not invent variety-specific routines.
Terrarium: simple and shallow
Use a 10–20 gal (40–75 L) terrarium with 2–3 in (5–8 cm) of coco fiber or soil (no gravel — impaction risk if ingested). A shallow water dish they can sit in but not drown. Mist to keep humidity 60–80%. Provide a hiding spot. They do not climb — floor space matters more than height.
Heat and the sit-still life
Maintain 75–85°F (24–29°C), with a slight night drop; a heat mat under part of the tank creates a gradient. Avoid overheating — they are lazy and prone to heat stress. UVB is optional but a low bulb supports health. They bury themselves for weeks during "brumation"-like dormancy; this is normal if weight is stable.

What do Cranwell's pacman frog Pacman Frogs eat?
Cranwell's pacman frog follows the pacman frogs baseline: Feed crickets, roaches, worms, and occasional fuzzies (pinkie mice) — but limit mammalian prey to avoid obesity and fatty liver. Dust food with calcium/vitamin D3. Juveniles eat every 1–2 days, adults 2–3 times weekly. They strike hard and can latch on — use tongs. A pacman that stops eating for long outside dormancy needs a vet check.
