Baby Pacman not eating?

[CCarr33]

He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate! He ate!

So I left him alone for about 24hrs now, and I went to Petsmart to tell them about our little situation. They told us to try mealworms, but I do know that mealworms are not to be used for a staple diet. But once I dropped one in front of his face he snatched it right up.

Has anyone else had problems with mealworms?

I just read on another thread that the mealworms might try to eat through his stomach or is the possibility of that low?

mealworms are not to be used at all they are very bad food choice for a frog, very high chitin content, that can't be digested by a frog, thus a very high risk of impaction. of course one mealworm won't kill a frog, but you better choose different food options - nightcrawlers and crickets at this point, smaller roaches, pac food is good but in your case he better be not stressed out to start tong training. so now you need to leave him alone again and offer crickets without back legs, i would do 3 weeks crickets for his size.

I imagine you jumping up and down after he ate :lol: you are on a right road.
