Description
A characterful ambush hunter for a planted ground-level setup, with space to burrow and watch the world go by.
Your mini jungle
Provide deep, safe burrowing substrate that is damp rather than waterlogged, sturdy planting around the edges and a shallow water dish with easy exits. Leave an open feeding area.
Minimum vivarium
60 × 40 × 40 cm (width × depth × height). One adult only. Pacman frogs must be housed individually.
Bigger is typically better for your mini jungle. These are minimum enclosure dimensions, not a target to squeeze in extra frogs. Allow for the space taken by drainage, substrate and planting, and increase the enclosure size if usable space is reduced.
Temperature and humidity
- Daytime target: 24–28°C. Around 21–24°C at night. Use controlled heating and measure both warm and cool areas.
- Relative humidity: 60–80%. Brief rises after misting are normal; provide airflow and avoid keeping the whole enclosure constantly soaked.
Check conditions where the frogs actually sit, with a thermometer and hygrometer. Use a thermostat for any heating and keep the enclosure out of direct sun.
Food and egg feeding
Offer appropriately sized live invertebrates such as earthworms, crickets and roaches, with suitable amphibian supplements. Avoid oversized prey and do not use other frogs as tank mates.
Obligate egg-feeding tadpoles? No. Tadpoles do not depend on unfertilised eggs supplied by their mother; use a suitable species-specific rearing diet.

Collection and transport
We much prefer collection in person: meet us, see your frogs and talk through their care. If you cannot collect, you must arrange and pay for a specialist live-animal courier with the authorisation required for the journey to collect from our site. Please agree the collection date with us before booking. We do not post frogs: Royal Mail does not accept them, and ordinary parcel delivery is not available.
Cancellation and refunds
If you cancel an accepted frog order outside any statutory cancellation right, we may deduct only reasonable, evidenced costs directly caused by the cancellation that we cannot recover or avoid. Any deduction will be the lower of those costs, 20% of the price paid for the cancelled frogs, or £100 per order. It is not an automatic fee. We will take reasonable steps to reduce our loss, account for resale and other recoveries, and explain any proposed deduction before refunding. Contact us promptly with your order number if you need to cancel. Your statutory rights are unaffected. No charge under this policy applies when you exercise a statutory right to cancel, or where we cancel or fail to fulfil the order. This policy applies to new orders placed from 3 October 2026; it does not add charges to earlier orders.
