    Just curious, how long after a feast does a Pacman usually poop? He ate quite a bit 2 days ago and I haven't found any poop. He/she isn't hungry today. (he ate an earthworm, 4 big crickets and a superworm)

    Make sure your cocofiber is not to dry. Do you mist everyday? They should poop the next few days.it takes from 1 to 3 days. With the frog eating everyday.

    How often they poop can vary depending on the frog, what they are eating, and its conditions (humidity, etc.). Neither of my frogs go that often, more like once a week. If it has only been two days, then you definitely don't have anything to worry about. I know when I first got Grif I got worried because pacman info says they poop like every 2-3 days, but he goes more like every 5-6 days. If you would like, you can soak the frog in some Lukewarm water. That usually helps.

    Hmm, I noticed on the wikepedia entry about pacmans that superworms aren't good for them. Well, they sure smell bad enough- i might stick with crickets

    He finally pooped! I was afraid he/she was constipated. My frog pooped in the water dish again, very strange to poop there

    Very nice. I haven't tried to feed Grif from my fingers with out force feeding. I bet he would take food from my fingers.
