Took him almost a week but he finally ate 2 days in a row (only a couple crickets, though) so she said she thought he was good to come home. He ate about 6 baby crickets monday but hasn't eaten since then.

I talked to Lori and the other girls tonight at work and they said its possible he may have eaten a little too much dirt with the crickets and gotten constipated. They told me to try a warm bath to try and get things moving along. Hes currently soaking in his quarantine tank while I type this. X3 I'm gona leave him soak for a bit (there is a uth on the side of the tank to keep the water warm but not hot) and take him out in about 15 or 20 minutes. When I put him in there when I noticed the infection it took him about that long to go so I'll give him some time.

They agreed that if he dosn't eat after several warm baths to try the Pedialyte but finding unflavored in my area is gona be hard. Most places only carry orange and grape. If I cant find that is there anything else you could suggest?


I never thought when I bought Baby that he would be so much....well, trouble isn't the right word I dont think. Just more maintenance then my tree girls have been, I guess. But every time I look at that cute little face I just melt and I'm like "I'll do anything to make sure your ok!" *snuggle smush*


[edit] He pooped! Hes back in his normal tank now and I'll put a few crickets in before I head to bed and see if he eats over night. And the bloated-ness probably was the moisture cuse hes even more bloated looking now after his soak. X3 But he looks a little better now so I'll give him another warm soak tomorrow. Its a little step but I'm happy he does look a bit better. ^w^
The only other thing you can do to spark a feeding responce is to keep his temp at 82 for a couple days. Warmer temps can help because their body uses heat to digest and metabolize their food.

Pacman frogs are not as easy to care for as everyone let's on. If that were the case their wouldn't be several hundred threads on here with people having trouble with getting them to eat or them being sick. Not to mention having trouble maintaining the correct environment for them. They are extremely sensitive to any change in their environment whether it be climate change or just an object that has changed and all of these thing can stressyour frog and cause him to stop eating.
