    I.5 days without food isnt that long at all...
    They look puffy after you feed them. I have a frog thats pooped once since this thread started. I keep feeding him, he has access to water and I soak him once a week. Eventually, the frog will poop.
    They look puffy when they hold water too, which they do cause they are frogs. If they then become nervous and afriad (from say, handling...) then they will release all the water they are holding. They pee alot. Thats why substrate and water need to be changed frequantly regardless of how much they poop.

    Keep feeding the frog and make sure its conditions are right and it has access to water. If you are taking it with you on trips out of town, chances are its a bit stressed out.

    Thanks, so you think that my frog looks okay and I can continue feeding him/her? I am worried because I have heard of pacmans eating till they die, and I don't want that to happen to mine.

    I'm sure it's ok to feed your frog, I've heard the same thing but my pacmans seem to know their limits. They eat a certain amount of food a night then they are done. Mine are still young so that's why they are fed every night.

    You can keep feeding him. Now is not the time to worry. Honestly you are worrying too much which I understand when you care for your frog, but your stress can become his stress because animals can sense emotions by the pheromones your body releases. They can pick up on these and become stressed. Be calm, be patient, and be gentle and the frog will not feel threatened. Frequent handling when not necessary will also make the frog become stressed so only do it when necessary. Very VERY few Ceratophrys don't mind being handled so keep that in mind.

    If your frog becomes severely bloated and believe me you will know when this happens because the frogs activity will halt and it will become lethargic.
