    Default Pooping problem..

    Hi all, I'm sorry to post so much thread but I so curious to learn :P.
    My 1.5inch albino pacman ate 2 crickets (1inch each) yesterday and today, I didnt see any poop inside the terrarium. Are there any problem? Could it be a sickness or it havent completely digest its food?

    Your substrate looks a little too wet, but other than that everything looks ok. Since the meal was so large and the frog not much bigger than the food items you offered then it will need time to digest. In the future offer smaller crickets. About 0.5" that should help.

    No. Its not good for them. You can offer small fish occationally. Waxworms a couple times a week, but you want to use earthworms or crickets as a staple.

    In my area, theres only crickets and mealworm available. Maybe I can go fishing shop to buy some earthworm?

    When the frog really needs to poo, you will notice a hard lump on its right side. Until that happens, try not to worry too much.

    Just answer the questions from the Trouble in the Enclosure sticky Grif mentioned. It'll probably be fine.

    Might be stressed a little. Just let him rest. Get some small crickets and take the hind legs off so that the crickets cannot jump. This makes them easier to catch. Leave about 4 in with him and let him be.

    Small crickets should be half inch or less.
