Slow growth in pacman? 
I bought my pacman frog in January he has not grown much since i had him.He had an illness for a while hoppy helped me through with him.He got very thin has gained the weight back and a little bit more but, hasn’t seem to grow much more.He is not full grown he was about the size of a quarter when i got him he is now maybe double that size.It just seems like he is growing fast compared to what I’ve heard about their rapid growth.I wasn’t sure if his growth is abnormal or not and, if it was abnormal how to fix it?He does get his crickets etc. dusted with a vitamin powder.If you need additional information please ask and i will post it.Thank you for your help in advanced

I think you should keep what your doing and stay strong haha. If he had an illness like you say I think he probably will exhibit some stunted growth. You sound like you have the right idea with the feeding and dusting. I would give him some variation in his diet like night crawlers, roaches, etc. It might help a little. I dont see any reason even with the delayed growth that he wont get full size.

He gets variation in his food, he has been feed night crawlers and wax worms for the past few weeks to kind of bump up his weight but, not too many to cause any weight or health problems.I was just wondering if this could be MBD or something like that even though the food has been dusted.anyways thankyou for your help

I read it takes almost a year to double or triple in size. My younger pacman frog is 4 months old and she is growing slow too. She is now about the size of a medium size strawberry. She eats wax worms, meal worms, and crickets.
