Is this normal?

[Guenhwyvar]

Jr has been sitting in his water dish for over a week now. I keep refilling his water since he's soaking it up like a sponge, but it looks dirty now and keeps getting dirtier. He's loosing his color now and is starting to look very pale. He hasn't eaten much and hasn't pooped at all. He's shedding a lot too, he shed 3 times in a week. What he shed this morning looks kinda gray. I'll try to get some pics up soon too. He doesn't look like he's lost any weight, but it could just be because of all the water he's taking in.
these pictures are of him after only three days in the water.

Its not normal for them to be in their water dish longer than an hour or so. A week is way too long. What are his temps and humidity levels? He may still be constipated? You said he pooped, but he may still be having trouble. His posture looks low as well. Feel his right side to see if he still has a firm spot? Has he moved at all?

He hasn't pooped. His temps and humidity is normal about 85 day and 75 at night. He hops around in circles because he's growing a bit big for his dish. He jumps at crickets sometimes, but refuses to get out of the dish. Some of the research I did before getting him said some pacs may stay in their dish a lot and rarely come out, but he doesn't look normal which made me think it wasn't good. I tried getting him out of his dish but he keeps trying to burrow into it and doesn't make any attempts to get out on his own. I'll go feel his side and report back, hopefully with pictures.

I went to check on him and there is no lump or hard anything on either side of him. When I took my hand away, I saw tiny bugs crawling all over him! I wish I could post video on here, youtube takes forever. I have a couple new pics I just took a few minutes ago.

Ewww parasites! Gross! Poor dude. :| I'm not a pacman expert (by no means) but buggies on any frog are not good. Not sure what kills bugs other than a vet visit.

There are good mites like Springtails, but I don't think what you described were them. You need to soak him in a container that can be filled deep enough so the water level is up to his chin. Be sure its luke warm water. Clean his entire enclosure out and replace his substrate with new. Also soak any fake plants or furniture in really hot to scalding. De-chlorinated water. This way to rid the enclosure of the mites. This is probably why he has been getting in his water so much. His substrate is probably infested with them.

Ive had something like this haopen and it was the substrate that I had. It happened in two different vivs. Maybe get.a.new brick if what you had wasnt really old.
