    Exclamation Pacman feeding trouble, is he okay

    Hi, ive had my pacman for about 1 1/2 months and he's only eaten 5 crickets and 2 goldfish. The goldfish he ate instantly, he's only eaten one cricket from tongs, the other 5 have gone MIA in his tank( i got frustrated he wasnt eating and left them in there) i suspect he ate them and he only will at night or when im not around even when they're right by his mouth. his appetite seems low. He hasnt pooped but it might be the lack of food, he has peed though. The store i got him from only mentioned feeding him fish and mice. Any advice, im thinking of trying earthworms, also can you recommend any fish that could be fed as a staple. Thanks

    Fish cannot be fed as a staple. The chemical Thiaminase found in most fish causes a Vitamin B1 deficiency which is bad.

    ok first of all - temps, in your other thread you said you don't have a measuring tool and you can just guess, so that you need to change, you need to know exact temps.
    then water- change your water to treated tap water asap. you can use special water conditioners for frogs or any dechorinating products would do. I'm using Prime right now.
    pic of the frog and it's enclosure would be helpful, are 3 sides covered? sometimes they feel stressed out being in open, some plants/hides would be useful.

    how big is a frog?
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    okay i get a themometer, also i think it might be red leg, he hops and jumps normally, but in his feet it looks like hes got blood in them, but not on the skin. And some red speckles near his hindquarters. RO water is reverse osmosis isnt that good enough. Ill put in my plants if that will help.

    read this regarding water http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...hing-else.html
    and change it to treated.
    take a pic of his legs, it might be also normal coloration. and at this point i really would like to see pic of the frog too.
