Concerned about my new pacman

[pacmatt]

I have had it for five days now and it has not eaten on its own. The second day I force feed it by holding a small cricket in its face until it opened its mouth and I put it in. I now know from this forum that this stresses it, so I'm not doing that again. It still has no interest in the crickets I provide at night. Also, I don't leave the crickets in over night, should I? It has not gone #2 yet, however this morning I found something strange in the water dish pictured below. After breaking this transparent sack like thing open I found what looks like the coco fiber substrate and very small cedar chips like what it was in at the pet store. Please let me know what you all think about this sack thing and what I can do for my baby pacman to make it comfortable enough to eat?

I smell impactation luck..

[pacmatt]

Is there anything I can do, or do I just wait to see if it passes?

It just passed it. Let the poor guy rest. He is lucky. Let him clear up in side. Keep him warm and keep water bowl clean.

Oh, thats good, and will do on the warmth and water dish.
I just hope he/she starts to eat soon. Should I leave a few crickets in with it over night? Also, is a heat bulb or a heat pad on the side of the terrarium best for providing heat? Currently the temp is 78 but at night it drops to around 71 so I need to heat it up, and I read that 65% humid is good for baby pacmans.

Watch the drop in temperature.They could use some crickets but don't live them over night. They might hurt the frog. According to some people, the crickets hurt there frogs.

I think it may be time to gently force feed. I would start with small calcium sprinkled crickets as to not bloat him up.

Good luck!
