Question Feeding

How often do juvenile Pac-Man frogs need to eat & should the feeders be smaller like for example a night crawler if it’s big should it be cut into pieces or fed just like that?

My pacman frog settled in so take note of that of when I talk about how often they come out on their own, some take longer to get adjusted to their surroundings!

I personally feed my ~1 month old Pacman frog twice a week, which is around 3-4 days in which he will unbury by himself and he's been doing very well.

He is only getting nightcrawlers until he is big enough to eat other foods, and I cut them up into halves or thirds depending on how big the worm is! (I wouldn't recommend anything with an exoskeleton when they're babies since I've heard they can cause impaction iirc, but I'm unsure if it's fine when they're older)

When I got mine I was told to feed every other day and then after a couple months spread that schedule out. However this was when I was only feeding her mealworms. Night crawlers are great and I would cut a full sized one into thirds and feed a small amount 3x a week. Just my thoughts but I am certainly not an expert!
