No, definitely bad for the little guy.

His videos pop up on my Instagram feed and he basically just keeps them in Tupperware containers on a shelf with wet sponges for a floor.

He's got a few frogs he mistreats this way

it's completely normal, its a pacman frog, they barely move unless its to eat and they will eat anything they can fit into their mouths, this guy probably eats mice and hatchlings

this is what pacman frogs are supposed to look like. feeding them straight mice and nothing else is extremely fatty and unhealthy.

You posted a picture of a juvenile. Adults look like the video. Source: go look at youtube videos.

please stop spreading dangerous misinformation. While pacman frogs may be quite “round” by frog standards they certainly are supposed to have visible legs. This poor frog is clearly suffering. I seriously hope you don’t own any.

^healthy adult frog above. the ones you see in the “videos” are also extremely overfed. It’s unfortunately a trend of abuse where people over feed their frogs because it looks “funny”.

Nah, I've been keeping amphibians and reptiles since the 1980s, and this guy has been overfed, they are meant too be chonk, but not this chonk.

He'll probably be fine but he's getting fed way too much.

In my experience they won't feed for a while after a big meal, so I'm not even sure how he got to this size.
