    Its true. I had the same problem. It was too obvious. The frog was doing great. When the ac went on for the first time of the summer. The room went down to 69 for a whole day. I went to feed the frogs and the cranwelli was the only one to eat. The fantasy and ornate were not eating. So i waited and waited. The only problem was the fantasy was the same size. No signs of starvation. The ornate,I'm embarrassed to say was skin and bones and head. He got skinny. I had to force feed him. That day everybody ate fuzzys.The cranwelli was fine.the fantasy after refusing food grabbed the fuzzy. The ornate refused the fuzzy so i injected the fuzzy with liquid calcium and vitamins from flukers. All i did was jam the blown up fuzzy in the ornats jaws. It took him 15 minutes to swallow the food. He was week. Then i started with worms and worked my way up . Now he's my best eater.

    I'll be moving him away from the AC here soon, today I went to see if he was alright and noticed that his eyes are clear and open. Still hasn't eaten anything but I noticed today that his body has a more squishy feel to it. I'm now wondering if he's stressed out.

    It is very possible. There are a number of factors that can cause them ti be stressed. The AC might be # 1 in this case but I'm not an expert.

    Keep him away from drafts. I hope he gets hungry again. If not, wait it out and see if he gets worst physically like weight loose. I hope he don't have parasites. Just a thought.

    When you guys say AC are you talking about a window air condition or a heat/air system? We have central heat and air but I don't know if it affects my animals, my vent barely blows so my room is typically a lot warmer. But winter is coming so its going to mean it will be colder too.

    Your pacman has awusome colors. I love the brown tone on him. He looks bloated in one pic. From the back view. Jast a thought. Hope he gets better . You might have to get him a pinky.

    I second that. Atleast if your frog eats a pinky it will tide him over for about a week or alil less. Is he large enough for a new born pinky by the pics?

    Any AC window or central air. Something about the cooling of the air affects them. Even if the enclosure gauge reads correct it doesn't mean the frog is not feeling the affects. I assume that the warmer temp in the enclosure and the cooler air outside it causes a vaccume that must pull cool air into the enclosure as the warm air rises out. The cool air replaces the warm air creating a draft. It might trigger them into winter mode but not fully so they're awake but don't feel the erge to feed
