URGENT pacman not eating

[shane]

Hey everyone, he's still worrying me. But things are looking a little better. I got him to lunge at a cricket for the first time today. (tried feeding him with tongs) He didn't eat it and stopped trying after a while. But he showed signs of trying to eat, which is better than I can say for the last week. Thank you all for your help.

Don't give up on Frank yet. If he is trying that is a good sign. Keep us posted.

I want you to go out and buy UNFLAVORED Pedialyte. Prepare a warm soak that consists of 10 parts water 1 part Pedialyte. So for every 10oz of water add 1oz of Pedialyte. Try this soak and let me know how he does. Use a container that he can't jump out of and make sure the water is no deeper than up to your frogs chin or just below the chin. This will greatly help your frog.

ok im going to have to find some pedialyte. but dude today he was trying to bite me so i usen my tongs and put a baby cricket in his mouth and he just strated freking out and spit it out. cricket had no back legs and its jaws were too small to bite frank. maybe i have a special needs frog =/ i have dropped close to 300 bucks in the last 3 days on this guy and nothing seems to work. i just wish he was a better eater. i will definately try a pedialyte bath. how warm should the dechlor be? and what method of heating shall i use? (i shouldnt just microwave the water right?) should i just get hot tap water, dechlor it, and let it cool for a while?

As long as the water is around 78 degrees it should be fine. Use warm tap water and de-chlorinate it. Maybe try feeding him with your fingers since he tries to bite you and he will get the cricket then. Make sure it is unflavored pedialyte. You can keep trying to feed him and let him try by himself. He is probably scared.
