    Unhappy Pacman frog not eating

    I got this baby packman last sunday and i keep trying to feed him Dubai roaches. The guy i bought him from said he feed it a pinkie and the frog will sometimes shoot the food with its tongue and just let it sit their until it gets free and leaves and before it just opened its mouth like it was trying to shoot the prey with its tongue.
    And he is in a 5 gallon tank and everything perfect he just won't put the effort in to eat.

    Since this frog is new it will still be adjusting to its new home, I would cover 3-4 sides of the tank with black paper to help speed up the process and help it to feel for comfortable and less stressed. You should not feed it a pinkie if it is a baby since it can hurt you pacman I would keep offering crickets and dubias everyday until he/she eats

    Please answer the questions Amy posted along with pics of a frog and its enclosure.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
