How can I help my Pacman?

Hey all, thanks for your input. The saran wrap really helps keep the moisture in. He kept his eyes above the substrate during the day for the first time (as opposed to totally buried). I hope that's a good sign. I replaced the distilled water with dechlorinated tap water, and he appears to have at least gone in the water briefly. After a bit of gentle coercion, I was able to tong feed him just one cricket, but it's a start. The tong feeding video was really helpful. Perhaps with the consistency of humidity, he'll be more comfortable and gluttonous.

I will post a photo of the enclosure tomorrow morning when it's light again, and I'll keep you all posted if/when his appetite normalizes.

This is the enclosure

Looks good Aaron. You can cover three sides of the tank with some sort of background to minimize stress. You may want to eventually look into a digital gauge. The ananlog ones are not always acurate. But overall you have a good setup. :-)

Yes, it is a good sign that he kept his eyes above the substrate. They still will bury completely from time to time, but having the proper temps and humidity should help spark his appetite. Offer nightcrawler pieces and crickets as his staple diet. If you let the crickets loose in the tank, then break the hind legs off so it is easier for your frog to catch them. And be sure to take any uneaten crickets out each morning. Keep us posted.

I offered live crickets, and he ate them voraciously, so I guess it was mostly a matter of finding the food he likes best. Thanks all for your help!

That's good. You can gradually introduce him to new foods as you raise him into adulthood.
