How long can adults go without eating??

[Randy]

I've joked before that my pac does better when I'm around because she likes me, but when I came home from college this semester she had gotten kind of skinny. Even though my mom spends a LOT of time trying to feed her, she was apparently eating only two or three roaches a week.
I've been home for four days, and she's eaten between five and ten roaches each day (small to medium nymphs, so.. cricket sized). I knew they could recognize people, but GEEZ.
I've come to the conclusion that Trevor just has some secret desire to control my life through guilt so that I can never leave her


At any rate... How long can adults go without food? I mean, a couple months of eating not much of anything and she had lost a little weight, but not enough to look really malnourished or anything.

I have 2 large adult pacmans that can go 3 months without eating and not lose hardly any weight . they do bathe occasionally but they live off their fat stores and eat only when they feel like it.When they do eat they can eat 2 adult mice at a time .They are not ill nor are they unhealthy they do not have bone disease or redleg . thye simply are extremely helathy and well fed frogs.

According to two of mine they can go at least a month. My big ornate has not eaten since the beginning of May and my smaller fantasy frog has been fasting for 3 weeks. My albino refused food today but that he has been eating all along.

Not really of too much value, but I'm increasingly fascinated by the fact that feeding problems seem to crop up a lot in regards to pacmans (just in terms of the numbers of forums with posts in which a healthy looking frog is fasting), and the possibility that it can be a very normal aspect of their lifestyle.
