    Well, congrats on your first pacman frog! I just rescued mine from a Petsmart about 2 months ago, so I might not be the best of help, but mine wouldnt eat for the first 2 weeks. I think it was because of impaction though. He had rainbow pebbles in his stomach from when he was in Petsmart. But one day I found some blue and pink pebbles in his bath. Thinking his belly was now empty I tried feeding him and he ate within the second I dropped the cricket in. So basically, after my story time, I would say he can go on hunger strike as long as something is in his stomach, which can be for up to a month. Good luck to you and your frog!

    Hello & Welcome to the forum!
    There could be a few factors......it may be that he is intimidated by the large enclosure. It may simply be re-location stress. As for the burrowing, that is normal, they are ambush predators and this is how they prepare in case food comes along. Have you tried feeding earthworms/nightcrawlers? Cut appropriate sized bits off the worm and try tong feeding.
    Pictures of the frog & enclosure would help us give some advice.

    No I have not fed worms. I have seen your tong feeding 102 video. I dangle the roach like you do the worm bits for up two to three minutes and wiggle it too. Here's some pics .

    Thanks. He was labeled as C. Ornate but if you say he's C. Cranwelli then it must be! How can the novice tell the difference?

    petsmart or petco I assume, only C cranwelli have albino morphs as of current, C ornata have false eye spots right behind the eyes and the others dont.. an albino C ornata would be worth well a whole lot of money and I dont see a breeder letting one slip out when it does happen...

    Yep!! I'd say that an Albino Ornata would be worth a few thousand dollars.
