New Pacman!!!

[Tori Savage]

Ok so I am seriously thinking of not keeping pacmans anymore. I found my pacman flipped over this afternoon. I'm not too happy at the moment. I think it was impacted. I think this because it normally ate daily. And for the past 2-3 days, it ate maybe one cricket a day, if any. It's stomach still had food, which shouldn't have been so full for not really eating. It may have been a cricket that impacted it, or it ended up eating some plantation soil. I thought it was looking slightly bloated, but didn't think anything of it untill I found it dead today. Other than that, I don't know what it could've been. thanks guys for all the advice!

Flipped over on its back is a sign of severe stress. Plantation soil is coconut fiber which doesn not cause impaction. What temps did you keep him/her at and what size crickets were you feeding it? If you fed it too large of crickets the head of medium to large adult crickets cannot be digested and can cause impaction in babies.

I'm sorry for your loss
