    Default Question/help

    So I got my pacman a few weeks ago, it's a baby probably an inch long. It wasn't eating crickets so I gave it a small superworm and hasn't eaten since, that was when I first got it. Should I be worried? Thanks.

    Wait did he eat the worm? If so I think he is probably just picky. Also Are there any other things that seem off like his eyes? His skin?

    yeah he ate the superworm. He's seems to be in good health, i figured the superworm was too big and he's just trying to digest it or something like that

    It doesn't make sense to me - I think there's something wrong with him or he needs to try other foods.

    I concur with John. Pac-mans are not known for long periods of fasting.

    So he/she hasn't eaten yet so I made the difficult decision to force feed it. When I opened its mouth there was this yellow coloration on its lips, is that normal? I have decided to try and find a vet to take him to. Thanks

    No. You really shouldn't force feed a frog unless instucted to by a vet.
