Why isn't my Pacman eating?

[GrifTheGreat]

I have had my Pacman since he was the size of a quarter and he is now almost as big as the rim of a coffee mug. Up until about a month ago he was eating about 4 crickets a night and has always disliked the mealworms. We were displaced for a week out of our home from a flood and took him with us to my sisters where he stopped eating. We came home and he still continues to not eat. I have been using the same bedding and environment as always and have checks him for physical issues but he doesn't even look thinner. Should I be concerned? Should I try to feed him something else?

What are the temps and humidity levels? The moving from your home during the flood to your sisters probably stressed him/her out. Which a lot of the time they won't eat. You can try different food items like night crawlers/red wigglers/hornworms/dubia roaches/silk worms. I would avoid mealworms during this as they are difficult for the frog to digest. How long exactly has it been since your Pac stopped eating?

Humidity and temp are normal (75-80% and about 78-80 degrees). He hasn't been eating for about three weeks. He ate one cricket last week and that was it. I'm really worried!

Its time to force feed. It has been too long and you may not be able to tell your Pac has lost weight due to water holding weight. If they are well hydrated they will look fat but it is just water. 3 weeks is too long. You must gently open your Pacs mouth with a credit card/shopper card/plastic spoon and have the food item ready in your other hand and place it in your frogs mouth. The frog will do the rest. It may take a few times but be patient and you'll get it. This is stressful for the frog too but is a must or your frog will starve to death. Any questions just ask. Dust the food with the appropriet vitamines/calcium dust and place it in the frogs mouthm keep us posted.

Grif you have a very good point. He has no nutrients and water has none. This transaction affected his appetite. You have to get him going again.The way you kept him was probably very different the way he was kept during the moving to a temporary housing.
