Pacman Frogs are '''[[nocturnal]]''' and '''[[fossorial]].'''<ref>Julián Faivovich, Laura Nicoli, Boris L. Blotto, Martín O. Pereyra, Diego Baldo, J. Sebastián Barrionuevo, Marissa Fabrezi, Erik R.

Pacman Frogs should be housed '''individually''' to prevent stress, aggression, or predation of tank mates. ''They may attempt to consume any animal that can fit in their mouth'' - and even some that cannot. In nature they are known to be '''[[cannibalistic]]''', and will consume individuals of their species as well as other species of frogs.  

While above ground, Pacman frogs will spend time soaking in their water bowl where they will both defecate and absorb water through specialized patches of skin on their body.

Wild Pacmans may brumate when seasonal temperatures and humidity drop below their preferred ranges. During brumation the frog will cease its regular shedding, and retain several layers of skin in order to encase itself and retain moisture. Frogs in this state will burrow deep into the substrate, and stop eating or drinking until moisture and warmth return to their environment.<ref>Wissman, Margaret A. 2011. Pacman Frog Not Eating.

Pacman frogs, especially froglets and juveniles, shed their outer layer of skin frequently and regularly - and often consume their "molt". When shedding, the frog will compress its body into a crouching position and expand while swatting its face or body to loosen the layer of old skin. It may appear to be yawning, coughing, or choking while attempting to remove and consume molted skin.
