New Pacman Frog

[thegranchaco]

Hi everyone! I'm new to frog forum because I just got a pacman frog. I have received Chaco almost a week ago and noticed he hasn't eaten yet. I have only read they take a few days to get acclimated to their new home, but can it take longer than a few days? The place where I got him was feeding him crickets and said he was a good little eater. I bought the same crickets and have not seen him eat Should I be worried?

Could you describe your care conditions ?

Welcome to the forum! Please make sure you read the pacman care article. Details on the enclosure and conditions would be very helpful; pictures are helpful too. Make sure you are using de-chlorinated water. Yes, pacmans are often stressed by moving to a new home and it can take them a few days to adjust. It is important to reduce stress as much as possible. Keep the temp and humidity up and consistent. Reduce visual stress by covering three sides of the tank with some sort of background. Don't handle the frog, except when necessary. Observe him but try not to disturb him. Offer food each night. You can also break the hind legs off the crickets to make it easier for the frog to catch. Please keep us posted.

Just to clarify, one week without food is not life-threatening. You should be concerned and cautious, but it's not panic time. Let us know the details about your frog's conditions and we will try to help you however we can.
