My pacman, Mandarin, passed away recently and I honestly don't know why. Let me explain all the happenings leading up to his death.

I changed Mandarin's bedding around three to four weeks ago, and he had a good meal of crickets shortly after. The next day he had buried himself in the substrate, which wasn't too uncommon because I noticed that he did that a lot after eating. I continued to mist daily, kept the heat normal and made sure there was clean water every day in case he came out at night to soak. However, Mandarin stayed burrowed for two weeks. I was a little concerned but didn't think too much about it, and continued misting and heating as usual. After the two weeks, Mandarin finally came out later in the evening, however I noticed that he seemed a little lethargic. He went straight into the fresh water and I had gone to bed. The next morning when I woke, Mandarin was on his soil looking kind of lop-sided. I figured he'd be hungry after two weeks, but when I offered him a nightcrawler, he didn't even move. I was worried and moved him to get a better look at him (which he normally hates being touched) but he didn't even react to that. Finally after a minute he made his way to the water dish... but his arm and leg on the right side seemed to be dragging, and he struggled his way into the dish. I was freaking out by then, and rushed to my computer to see what could be causing this. In the time it took me to turn on my computer and search on google (with no luck) Mandarin has passed away in the water bowl. ): I noticed there was a weird white liquid in the water afterward.

Here are his setup specs: 10gal glass tank, overhead red incandescent heat bulb, 2 1/2 inches of coconut fiber, water dish, plants for coverage, temp during the day 80-85F and during the night 70-75F. Misting and water changes were daily, bedding change was every three weeks.

I checked for any external signs for illness such as redleg and others but didn't see any signs of it. I wonder if perhaps the crickets I gave him had parasites, even though they were store bought. ): Any help would be awesome. I'm really hoping it was nothing I did that caused this... I'm hoping to get another frog in the next few months and if something I did was wrong I really want to make sure it doesn't happen again ): I miss my Mandarin.

Thanks in advance guys.
