i soaked him a good 20 minutes and he hopped around a lot. He actually pooped a few days ago I saw it and had a "aww a poop" moment :P.

Go to walmart and go to the fishing and tackle dep. and get the trout worms. They are wigglers . He will definitely go for them . Also he has to be warm so his metabolism gets fast.

Ok, I will get some of those. I'm going early AM to my work/petsmart to get a mini under tank heater. I'm hoping this helps . The poor guy I thought legit died on me. Limbs straight out, open mouth, the whole deal. Then I got him into some water and got the dirt off his face and he was a whole new frog. I felt horrible because his dirt was barely moist because my AC apparently takes away humidity faster. I'm also going to get the coconut husk or w/e that stuff is to soak in water versus using the eco-earth that i buy in the bags for my crested.

You can use tap water for letting him soak in it as long as the water is treated with a water conditioner. Reptisafe is a great one, removes traces of metal as well as chlorine/ammonia/etc. As far as keeping in the humidity in his enclosure you can use a damp towel, saran wrap, or plexiglass to keep his humidity up to par. I don't use saran wrap because I'm weird and am nervous of it getting too hot and releasing toxins into the air harmful to my frog so I use a damp towel over half of his cage allowing some ventilation still. Do you have a Thermometer/Humidity gauge? You can pick like a zoo med one up for like 6 bucks to keep the temperatures correct. I don't know what the coconut husk is, but you should always use that eco-earth coconut fiber for your pacman with some moss if you like. The eco-earth holds humidity in great and is impaction risk free if ingested. As long as your enclosure isn't plastic then you can use a heat pad, always placed on the side as BG mentioned for a temperature gradient and because your pacman will burrow down there and burn/dry himself out. The side of the tank allows him to move closer or further away.

yea i meant the coconut fiber, forgot the name LOL!! Should I buy a 2.5 gallon glass tank? I don't mind using 13$ for the little guy!

He is small now and the smaller the tank the easier for the frog to get the food. Reptile girl the ac is no good for the little guy . Put him in a room with no ac. Thats what happened to my the ac got him sick and didn't want to eat.

2.5 gallon is a little on the small side, but for his size it should be ok for a few weeks to a month. I would say get him that if you want, but you should get him a 10-15 gallon long term. Or you can buy a decent size sterilite or rubbermaid bin and use John's guide to building yourself an inexpensive permanent home for your pac, http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...-vivarium.html. Take it easy.

The heater has to go on the side of container. Never on the bottom for pacmans.
