Pac Not looking so hot

[DVirginiana]

If your pac doesn't get too stressed out by being handled (some freak out, but some are pretty calm about it) it shouldn't hurt to take him out just to check and make sure nothing's wrong.

He may just like hiding under the plant... Sometimes they won't eat if they're 'hidden' or burrowed.

nope mine seems to hate being handled always squirts when i hold him feel like I'm just hurting him i never understood some some peoples pac would just chill in their hands? perhaps its because i don't handle mine enough? always assumed it was bad to? mine is def legit scared on me i notice how it lowers itself every time i get near the tank....

How did he react when you cleaned the substrate? Is any strange smells coming from the enclosure? Did you expand. the new substrate with de-chlorinated water?

we need more info. did you add or change anything's position within the tank? they don't like ch change and it can seriously stress some if them out.

keep us posted.

You may need to give him some space. Be sure to keep an eye on him. Look for any other strange behavior.

How moist is the substrate? are there any loud noises where he is kept? Did you awaken him for cage cleaning or was he already awake?
