I recommend putting the UTH on the side of the tank. They burrow and could burrow down and get burnt on the glass. Also if they get too hot and burrow to cool off and won't. Understand why it can't cool down over the heater. place the heater on the side of the tank. Leave 2 to 3 small crickets in the enclosure with the little guy/girl. Nice albino congrats on the little guy/girl.

Grif is spot on with the advice. Cute Little one, congrats!

Maybe they are related.Nice pacman you have there. Keep him happy. I would lose the moss,and replase it with cocofiber. Just not safe. Congrats on your new packy.

Let the little guy/girl get used to his/her surroundings. Then he/she may eat for you. Make sure you have really small crickets. Rule of thumb no bigger than the space between your frog's eyes. Also what is the temp and humidity?

don't have a thermometer/hygrometor yet gonna pick em up soon but it feels like around 82 and i mist the tank every day or so

[pmang6]

Feel free to ask any questions. There are several experienced owners on here and would be happy to answer any questions. Shouldn't be hibernating that's their long winter sleep. Your little one is probably aestivating which is like sleeping with their eyes open. Don't handle the little guy/girl much. The oils from your hands and any soap residue or chemicals/lotions are harmful to him/her. Always wash your hands very thoroughly with a mild cleanser and rince really well. Then use dechlorinated water and rince your hands with it before handleing. They are extremely sensitive as babies. There is a Pacman Frog Care Article on the forum under the Care Articles. I suggest reading it. The article will help you get started. You need to know temp and humidity. ASAP buy both a thermometer and hygrometer to place within the frogs enclosure.

Thats funny. lol Welcome to the forum.Did you get the thermometer and hygrometer yet . Its very important that you monitor the tank. Also get rid of the moss. add coco fiber. What size tank is that. Go over the care sheet on here, its very helpful. If you can keep him at 80 degrees,and 75 % humid ,he'll be very happy. The big tank might freak him out so you can get a creeper keeper for now with a weter bowl. and coco fiber. Keep us updated.

[pmang6]

thanks for the advice ill be sure to get a thermo/hydro soon

I know the subject has moved on, but I wanted to address something I feel is very important. I completely agree with what Grif said about side-mounting the heat mats. That is very important and can save alot of issues from occuring. I wanted to point out, however, that it is not recomended that you reuse heat mats after removing them. They are adhesive, but they have tiny wiring and coils. If something breaks while removing them (as they have been known to do), then a heatpad can climb to deadly temperatures very quickly and without warning. You may want to consider buying a different heatpad for the side. It will cost another $13-17 up front, but in the end it could save your Pacman Frog and tank from a terrible diesaster later on. Just something to consider.

Good job getting the cocofiber in. Has your Pacman Frog started eating again?
