Worried about baby Pacman?

[mintyfresh]

I purchased a baby Pacman frog from Petsmart about 1 1/2 weeks ago, and I've been worried about him for a while. I know people say they are voracious eaters, but mine certainly doesn't seem that way. He's pretty much stayed in the same spot, burrowing mostly during the day and sticking his head up at night, and I haven't seen him eat much. The first time I fed him he ate great, but I haven't actually witnessed him eat since then. The crickets slowly disappear, but I've watched him a few times where the crickets will walk right up to him and he'll pay them no mind at all. I'm worried! Does anyone have any experience?

Austin,
I will let Grif know about your post. Stay tuned.
It may be a humidity issue? Plus, he is still adjusting.
He needs some time.
Grif will know.

I would answer the questions on the trouble in the enclosure sticky and post them here. Those should help one of the more experienced keepers on here help you figure out a solution.

Answer these questions and post a photo of the enclosure and of the frog.

Like everyone else said, post the Trouble in the Enclosure info...

Just a quick suggestion, try not to leave crickets in there with your frog for more than twenty or thirty minutes. They can bite the frog. Also, when something is walking around them constantly, they can get accustomed to it and aren't as likely to strike. Plus, when you're trying to monitor how much it's eating, this can confuse things. Crickets will burrow, so unless you turn the enclosure inside out looking for them, you never know if it's been eaten or if it's hiding in the substrate. (In fact, if you peek in at like 2 or 3 in the morning, you'll probably see some of the disappeared crickets coming out to hop around)
