Concerned about my new pacman

[BG]

Now that sounds like a normal ornate.i dust the wigglers with calcium and vitamins. Keep them worms going with the bugs. Keep him warm and clean.He is a homerun.

My pacman has not eaten since the red wiggler four days ago, and it turns out that it only ate one small cricket, not three. I found the other two in the morning, must have burrowed in the substrate. He/she has not pooped, besides the transparent sack I found in the water dish, since I rescued it sept 23rd. I have kept the temp at 80 deg and the humid at 65-75%. I have also been changing the water dish twice a day and he/she still has no interest in eating. Please help, I am very worried.

Okay, broken record time :

Is the water you are using de-chlorinated? If not, it MUST be!

[pacmatt]

Yes, all of the water that I use for the terrarium is treated. I use Zoo Med repti safe water conditioner.

It could be a picky eater. Or something may have stressed him/her which will also cause them to not eat. I would try different food items incase the problem is just a picky eater. Try wax worms and meal worms. These are by no means good for a staple diet mostly used as treats. Also you could try a red wiggler again. You can offer food before the frog emerges from his/her hole. Just drop the wiggler or other food item in font of the frog. Break the legs off crickets before offering them to your frog to make them easier to catch. If you are worried about illness there is an article on the forum for frog first aid which lists diseases and symptoms of the diseases along with at home treatment recommendations. If your frog starts losing weight rapidly and still doesn't eat you may have to consult a vet.

Ok, so my pacman has not eaten in the last week & a half, and is starting to drop weight. Twice in the last week & a half it went after a cricket that I drop in but after the first attempts it gives up and is not interested. Also, it has not had a real poop in the last two & half weeks that I have had it. I tried soaking it in warm water & getting it to jump around to help any possible impaction, but all that comes out is this clear/white slimy stuff with bits of coco fiber in it. The first couple of days I had it I force feed it one small meal worm & two small crickets (knowing now not to force feed or use meal worms as they are hard to digest), and then the red wiggler & one small cricket a week & a half ago. Shouldn't it have pooped out that food by now? I have also noticed that it has never burrows, it is either in the water dish or on top of the coco fiber. Should I try force feeding again because of the weight loss?
