    Default Is this normal behavior?

    I got my Pacman Frog in late July, and he/she has always eaten 3 medium sized crickets a night. This week, he/she has only been eating 1 and I was wondering if this is normal behavior or something I should be concerned about.

    I keep the temperature between 75 to 85 degrees at all times and the humidity stays between 70 and 80 percent, so I don't think my habitat is set up incorrectly - I don't have any lighting on him/her because I was told it's bad for their skin and my apartment gets no colder than 77 degrees (although, I have a heating pad ready for winter), and he/she spends most of her time in my entertainment center because one of my cats loves to move his habitat around (which is an XL critter tote for now, but an upgrading to a 10-20 long soon), so perhaps his light cycle is messed up? We keep the shades of our patio door open, so during the day he/she gets some sunlight, but at night all we have is a regular living room lamp on..

    He/she has been sort of stressed lately. He/she usually starting hopping away from the tongs whenever I use them to chase the crickets towards him/her. I don't know what's going on guys, so can someone help me out? I might just be overreacting, lol.

    Ok, so I feed him/her in my kitchen. I turned off the light and walked into my living room to type this up. I go and check on him/her, and 2 of the crickets are gone! Lol, maybe I was just too much in his/her bubble, but it's strange because I've never had a problem with him/her eating in front of me before.

    I did the same thing I did a few days ago tonight, but my Pacman isn't touching his/her crickets. He/she is just ignoring them, and I can't figure out why since I'm in the other room to give him/her space. Any idea what happening? Maybe he/she isn't hungry? This isn't normal because he/she normally eats the crickets within minutes, but I could be overreacting..

    Just had another thought, could he/she be bored with crickets? It's all I've been feeding him/her lately, but I do have mealworms and waxworms (which he/she wouldn't eat), but I think they might be dead.. Think this could be it?

    Your pacman is fine. He is not a robot to except 3 crix every night.lol Some nights he wont be hungry. By rule you should offer food every night. The whole setup sounds perfect. You are a home run with that. Mine right now are buried under the dirt. I'm not going to disturb them . They are not sleeping. They are enjoying a great meal they had last night.lol

    Thanks! Just caught me off guard since he/she has eaten every night since I've gotten him/her. I'll just keep trying every night!
