Pac Man Frog (More...)

Habitat/Housing:
Horned frogs should always be kept singularly as cannibalism is common among horned frogs. Successful permanent maintenance requires a moderately sized terrarium (10-20 gallon). A screen lid is essential for proper air exchange. The enclosure must include either a sloped large water bowl or allow for a swimming area. This can be accomplished by using gravel as a substrate and sloping it to form a "beach" area. It is also recommended that a small powerhead water filter is used to keep the water clean. Live plants can be used in horned frog enclosures to maintain humidity levels and create a natural atmosphere. Misting the habitat once or twice daily will help maintain proper humidity levels.
Substrate (Bedding):
2" to 3" inches of Bed-A-Beast is recommended for horned frog to maintain proper humidity levels. However, gravel should be used when creating a "beach" tank to ensure water remains clear and pump is to work efficiently. The substrate should be kept moist, but changed regularly to avoid bacterial growth.
Responsible pet ownership begins on the trip home!
For the best health and well being of your pet, it is important to remember to take it directly home. If you have more shopping or errands to complete, consider picking up your pet last. This will ensure the animal encounters the least amount of stress possible. Have the new terrarium completely set up before bringing your new friend "home&home". Additionally, make sure your new family member is allowed enough time to adjust to its new home. Wait three or four days before attempting to handle your pet and always supervise children when they interact with pets.
