    Default I think my Pacman is dying.

    So, this is my first post-- hellosauce! I've been trolling for awhile but now I have a question, so I figured I'd ask you guys!

    The timeline here is important.

    Last year I bought my boyfriend a Pacman frog for Valentine's day. (So almost a year next week I've had Falstaff).

    I adopted him from the pet store I frequent-- as it was explained to me, he was brought in that day because the owners were moving and didn't want to transport him long-distance. I was told that he was only ever given white feeder mice, so he might not be used to other food, but it shouldn't be a problem feeding him other things if I approached it carefully.

    So I bring Falstaff home, give him a sweet new cage (I keep it right around 75-80) with water, dirt, rocks, all the good stuff.

    And he sat there, as pacmans do so well.

    Couple weeks later, I bought him a small mouse to eat. He ignored it. I tried for 3 or 4 days to get him to eat it, no dice.
    Rinsee and repeat process SIX #$(%#*(#$ times until July, when he FINALLY ate a mouse.

    Rinse and repeat process 3 times a month until today.

    There was a two or three week period of time in between where he went into estivation, but we adjusted the temperature and he snapped right out of it.

    I have tried mice, pinkies, crickets, worms, fish-- all no goes. Every so often he will have periods of SUPER activity, and I try to feed him whenever he is up and about, but he ignores everything I set in front of him. I've tried simply putting the mice in the cage, I've tried dangling them right in front of him, I've tried force-feeding him crickets and nothing seems to work.

    Falstaff was HUGE when I got him-- he has lost a ton of weight and I'm getting worried. He looks like total hell. I called our vet that we go to for our other pets, and she basically said "who knows?"

    Can anyone advise?
