Another "my Pacman won't eat" thread

[GrifTheGreat]

I am so sorry for your loss! RIP Odo. Pacmans are often not as easy to care for as advertised. They get stressed easily which usually causes them to stop eating. It is hard with a new frog, particularly one from a chain store, because you don't know the frog's history. You have no idea if it has any health issues or even when the last time it ate before it came into your care. Sometimes they don't pull through depsite our best efforts. You did your research and did your best to save him. Most likely he had underlying health problems before you got him. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Thanks again for all the help and warm wishes.

I guess the thing that upsets me is that I specifically waited several weeks for my local reptile store to get an albino in stock rather than buying one from petsmart for that reason. He never had that plump look that alot of them have, while ironically the one at my local petsmart looked pretty healthy (at least to my laymen eyes).

I'm going to contact the reptile store owner today and see what he has to say. not really looking for a refund or anything, just looking for some sort of response since he didn't seem to think it was any sort of issue yesterday.

I think going forward im going to look for a local breeder in the SoCal area so I can make sure the frog is well adjusted and healthy before it comes into my care.

if you guys can recommend anyone on the boards, by all means let me know.

Thanks again!
