I found him in his bowl this morning shedding a skin and he seems a little more lively but has reburied himself in the substrate
His temp and humidity are 74.8 at the coolest end of the heat matt and 80% Humidity I did go back to the shop last week to say he wasnt interested in eating and said maybe should i buy some crickets or locust and they said he could just be getting used to his new surroundings but now another weeks gone by and im worried hes not going to eat and starve any ideas?

Ok, a few things: First, are you using de-chlorinated water? Read the Pacman Care Sheet under the Care Articles section. It is full of vital information!

Second, how large is your frog? The general rule is to not feed mice to frogs under 2 inches long and then it is best to start out with pinkies. You said he ate a large mouse?? Are they live mice or frozen? If he did eat a mouse, he could still be digesting it. Mammalian proteins are harder for them to digest. Feeding too many mice can cause impaction. They are also very fatty and can lead to obesity and blindness. Most people recommend using mice only as a treat, once a month at most. However, if your frog hasn't eaten anything in two weeks then you should definitely be concerned. They do often take time to get used to their surroundings but usually only 2-3 days. You need to offer other food as a staple diet: crickets, nightcrawlers, and locusts. Make sure there isn't anything stressing him out. Incorrect set-up, too much light or noise, too many visual distractions, too much handling can all cause them to become stressed and stop eating.

Third, the temp should be warmer, 80-85 during the day. Can we have some more details about his set-up? What size tank is he in? What substrate are you using? Heat source?

Finally, not to seem nit-picky, but it is always best to start a new thread. It makes it easier to answer people's questions. Welcome to the forum!
