Pooping problem..

[MrFroggie]

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?

Heres a video of it:

does it look normal?Sorry for the background sound :P

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?

As long as the worms don't contain chemical dyes or scents.

nightcrawler is a big earthworm, in bait shops they are called dew worms. Just as Grif mentioned make sure they're dye and additives free.

So should I worry it about no pooping for one day after feeding? o.o

No no. Lol! They usually have a bowel movement every other day to every 3 days. Adults can go a week or more before they poop. Don't worry.

I should only feed after it poops?

No not all the time. Just wait this time and then feed smaller prey.

That is normal.

[MrFroggie]

That is normal.

I bought lots of small mealworms to feed today.

[DeeDub]

That is normal.

Lol.....the epitome of patience. At this point I'm reading out of sheer entertainment value.

Mealworms are bad. The chitin their exoskeleton is made from cannot be digested and may cause an impaction. You are better off not feeding those to your frog.

[MrFroggie]

If I feed those which have just molted can?

Yes you can offer freshly molted Mealworms and no harm done.
