Thread: Help with young Pacman frog!

    Exclamation Help with young Pacman frog!

    I just took home a “special needs” frog from work because we couldn’t keep him in the store any more and we didn’t want to inhumanly put him down. I took him home to see if I could work with him and help him live a nice life. The problem is that he doesn’t jump or move around. If he tries to jump he ends up flipped on his back. No one has ever seen him eat and since I’ve brought him home he won’t eat anything. He’ll dog him self into the dirt but that’s about it. At least once a day I’ll put him in his water dish to sit for about 10 minutes and he’ll perk up a bit. Does anyone know what could be wrong with him? He’s been like this since her arrived at our store a few weeks ago and the only thing that’s improved since I’ve brought him home is his eye. We thought he might be blind in one but it’s looking normal now. Thanks in advance!

    Default Re: Help with young Pacman frog!

    Pacman frogs are pretty sedentary, so him not moving around much isn't concerning unless he's not responding to outside stimulus. Has he been seen by a vet at all to confirm he has neurological issues and it isn't something else? Do you know if he's been supplemented with calcium powder (with vitamin D3)? And what have you tried feeding him and in what way? Tong feeding is pretty fool proof unless he's outright refusing to eat.
