Not eating

[AroseK]

The pacman frog i got almost a month ago is not eating now. I just did a whole clean to his tank and found a dead worm that smelt terrible do You think this could be why? The temp stays between 77 and 80 and hum stays between 75 and 78.

What are you feeding him (obviously worms, but what kind of worm? Anything besides worms?)? Are you dechlorinating his water, and any water you use to wet his substrate? What kind of substrate, btw? How long has it been since he last ate, and how long since he last pooped? How old is he? You've had him for a month, but was he a baby or what when you got him?

Ive been trying to feed him night crawlers i was feeding him meal worms because i had no other food at the time but he was pooping fine and hes not inpacted. He pooped like three days ago but hasnt ate in like 5 days. I do dechlorinate his water and i use eco earth for substrate. I got my pacman frog from pet smart and i asked how old but they had no idea its a inch and a half when its soaked with water and a little over a inch with no soaked water in its skin. He or she looks lighter does that mean its going to shed soon?

No not necessarily. Could be stress colors which would explain why he isn't eating. Do like I said and warm him up. Maintain 80% humidity and he should come around. Make sure his substrate is nice and moist. Post some pics of the enclosure and of the frog.

It wouldnt eat again today i tried force feeding and i couldn't even get his mouth open that was prob a bad ideal. This is so nerve racking.

If he is stressed trying to force feed will stress him worse at this point. Give him a couple days to adjust to the new temps.

It needs to be 80° to 82° during the day and hover around 78° at night. Warm him up and don't panic yet. Especially if its only been a day or 2.

One of my pacman refuses to take anything from a tong unless he sees it move freely on it's own first, he's weird. Have you tried just letting some crickets run freely in it's tank? Maybe he's scared of the tongs and prefers to hunt on his own. You've probably tried this but I'm just suggesting it anyway, I hope he eats for you. Also, rip the hind legs off the crickets so they can't jump making it much easier for your frog to catch them. Good luck with the little guy!
