Scared pacman?
I just got him 3 days ago, First pac man, 7th frog. He didnt burrow he just walked around exploring On day 1 and 2, Day 3 he dissapeared! I chek and he burrowed all the way down! about 2 inches, Than when I found him he immedeatly starting jumping around trying to escape, I tryed offering a cricket and earthorm, all he tryed to do was get out. He is about a half dollar size in a 12qt container, ventilated, 85 Humidity, 79F temp.

You startled him/her and made him/her stressed because he/she isn't used to you yet. Cover 3 sides of the enclosure with some sort of background and leave him her be for a night. You can place food in when the little guy/girl calms down.

No, you only have to cover the backside, left side, right side, and leave the front viewing glass open. Preferably some black material or the fake tank backgrounds they sell at pet shops. That will give your pacman a sense of comfort and adapt quickly to his new home with an appetite.

Re: Scared pacman?
They get stressed out easily. Once they are like that live them alone. Try to feed him again later. They get scared at that time, especially if they don't know you yet.
