Baby Pacman not eating?

[CCarr33]

Have you tried offering the crickets in a smaller enclosure outside of his tank? Are you feeding him at night after you turn his lights off?

I do feed him in a separate tank, I've tried to feed him at 7:30 but ill try midnight.

Yeah give it a try after light out, I try to feed mine at 11 every night and night he is really hungry he comes out of his burrow around 10:30 and waits for me to pick him up. I kinda lucked out with mine though, he was taking worms off the tongs his first night home, and calmed down when it came time for me to pick him up after a week

don't try to feed him in separate enclosure, you changed your enclosure yesterday, so it is a new environment for the baby now, let him be, don't handle, offer food in his home after the lights are off and give him time, he needs to figure out that he is safe. 8 days off food is not good for a baby, but anyway do not to stress him out, i would just throw a few crickets in a tank without back legs, but try to gently lift up the lid without moving the tank. no need to panic yet.

You're causing unnecessary stress by removing him to feed. Once he is used to his actual home just feed him there. He will not become acclimated if you keep moving him around.
