My first froggy =( Isn't eating!

[Kanas]

So I am new to the forum, and needed help with my pacman frog. I got a pacman frog around two weeks ago from the White Plains reptile show. He is an albino but has some green in him. When I brought him home I set him up in a 10 gallon with a warm side. I mist his tank daily to make is humid. I first tried to feed him some small crickets... he didn't eat one and seemed uninterested. Next I tried meal worms which he doesn't seem to eat either. He looks a little skinny to me. I'm really scared and don't want to lose my first frog. Any suggestions?

So I just inspected him and the small area on the left side of his body (his left) seems to be almost "hard" and looks to be purple underneath... please help him.

You are seeing his guts through his skin. That is the bluish purple you see through the creamy belly. What are his Temps and humidity levels? Are you using de-chlorinating water? Do you have a water dish for him?

Answer these questions and get back to me.

He has a water dish, bottled water. I don't know the temps/humidity. I am using a heating pad by exo terra. And yes you can sea the purple.

Did you also saturate his substrate with bottled water? You should treat the bottled water with a de-chlorinating agent because it normally still contains chlorine which is poison to the frog and will harm it over a short time. Only pure natural spring water doesn't have to be treated, but I would anyway just in case. I find de-chlorinated tap water works best.

Also answer these http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...enclosure.html I can tell you what is part of his eating problem is the size of his home. Its too large for a baby or juvenile. A medium to large critter keeper with a hermit Crab UTH(Under Tank Heater) on the side is what you need.

Grif I had him in a nano, but the issue was I couldn't get a heat pad small enough. so now he is in a 10 gallon.
