    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your frog. How often do you change the water in your frog's dish? The slime could be algae or stagnation. Answering the following questions will help so the folks here can figure out how to help.

    2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences
    3. Humidity
    4. Temperature
    5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
    6. Materials used for substrate
    7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials.
    - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv.
    8. Main food source
    9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often)
    10. Lighting
    11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
    12. When is the last time he/she ate
    13. Have you found poop lately
    14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
    15. Describe frog's symptoms and/or recent physical changes; to include it's ventral/belly area.
    16. How old is the frog
    17. How long have you owned him/her
    18. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred
    19. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats
    20. How often the frog is handled
    21. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area
    22. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc)

    Here are working links so they're easier for people to access:

    The only thing I see that could be fixed in his tank would be to cover the sides so he feels a bit more secure. I'm not sure what's going on with your frog, but I'm not a pacman expert so someone else will likely know more. My first thought is just that he's stressed from the changes in tanks, or it could be a matter of the food you're offering. Did you offer him the same thing he'd been eating before you got him?
