    getting a bit concerned about my pacman frog. he has got a little nip off a cricket which must of been hiding in his enclosure and nawed him a little over night. the wound doesnt look too bad but does look a little sore. is there anything i can do for that?

    more importantly he is seeming a bit lethargic lately. he seems off his food but tbh i do offer him about 5-8 crickets every other day. purhaps i am over feeding (or trying to as the case may be).

    his warm end temps are between 29-32c and cool end around room temp so about 22-24c

    he has fresh water and his substrate is eco earth.

    i honestly thought he was doing well up until about a week ago when these problems seemed to start.

    any ideas?
    Keep him around 78°F at night and make sure the ambient air temp is the same. During the day keep him around 83°F. This isn't warm side cool side. This means ambient air temp of the entire enclosure so that there isn't an area with a huge temp drop. The warm side will be warmer of course. Keep humidity at 80°

    As for the wound I would find some Bactine or antibacterial ointment that does not contain any kind of painkiller and use it to disinfect the bite. I would also seek a her vet just incase.
