    Default Pac man not using water dish...

    As above....I have not seen him in the water dish and there are no visual signs of use. Is this an issue?

    Thanks

    Could be that the humidity is sufficient for him or he's just not needing the toilet yet. Is he active at night and exporing the tank? Make sure the water dish is easy accessible, one of those thing (forgot the name) that you place under plant pots for water is ideal or a shallow water dish with steps

    He's eating fine, and appears ok so I'm not that concerned just best to ask I thought. I'm using an exo terra water dish that's level with the substrate so access isn't an issue.

    Yeah that'll be fine for him. Make sure the water isn't too cool or he won't enter it. They don't need to use it often, though since they're terrestrial

    If your substrate is nice and moist he is getting the water he needs from there to hydrate himself so this is why isn't seeking out his water dish. There some people that don't even provide a water dish because they never used it. These guys aren't your normal frog that loves swimming and being in the water all the time, to be honest they actually aren't the best and most graceful swimmers. They can swim there just not the best. So ya if he doesn't look all dry and everythings normal with eating and pooping don't stress about it, just keep the dish there and if he needs it he will find it. Over the summer when humidity was nice and high my youngest Cranwelli didn't go to his water for almost 2 months, and when he did eventually go in all he did was leave a nice big present in there for me to clean in the morning.
