    Default Pacman acting funny

    My pacman keeps making burrows getting up and making a new one? Normally he just sits there. Also hasn't eaten in 4 days which is pretty unsual. I tried putting him in a bowl of water, but he didn't do anything just jumped out. I'm probably over reacting, If you have any suggestions, ideas, or concerns please let me know.
    thanks, Greg

    How moist is his substrate. Is it muddy or too dry?

    Temp and humidity levels?

    Have you changed anything in his enclosure lately? Furniture/fake plants added/etc?

    Did you look for poop in the holes?

    Pacman Frogs are nocturnal and are ambush predators.........digging in and waiting for a prey item to come along is normal for them. As long as your temps & humidity are spot on and your substrate is in prime condition, everything should be fine. Please make sure that any water used in the enclosure (even for cleaning0 is de-chlorinated!

    Humidity is 70%+ my temp is usually 81 I change my soil every two weeks at the longest and I always use conditioned water. The reason He is acting strange is because normally he just sits in the same spot since I've bought him and lately he has been burrowing and moving repeatedly. He also went 4 days without eating which is not normal of him. I tried to tong-feed him during the whole time like I normally do and he would just try to push the food outta his face. I put him in warm condition water and he did nothing just hopped right out. Any idea what could be going on?

    Sounds like he doesn't like the soil. Like there is something about it that is not allowing him to be comfortable. How moist is the soil? If its too wet they usually will not stay burrowed in it?

    These very well could be the problem, I use dry coco fiber then put it in a bowl and pour warm conditioned water in it and mix it up a bit.
