A little help feeding

[crushinglimits]

Hey guys, brand new to the forum and owning a pac, so he had a previous owner and still a baby, the owner im pretty sure was feeding him wrong, a pinky mouse like every couple days, and crickets.... ive had the guy for about a month hes doing ok although he wont eat worms at ALL, he loves crickets and did devour a waxworm once too, usually eats like 3-4 good size crickets in a feeding, ive already wasted about 15 bucks on 3 tubs of night crawlers and he literally wont touch them, any ideas? can we avoid them all together and feed him other things?

You can get away with feeding your pacman just crickets, properly dusted. Worms are just better, from what I have read.

So night crawler earthworms are the highest nutrition for pacmans? Do they still need to be dusted? Being so big, how do you feed them to a small frog? Those worms are anywhere from 4-8 inches long. Just curious.

u can cut the worm to size accordingly and maybe use tongs to feed him just brush it up against his mouth. ivory has some tong feeding videos up on you tube

please answer trouble in the enclosure questions here, this way we can assist you better.
for now - don't panic! and forget about feeding pinkies for now. first thing you need to do is to ensure that conditions are good and stress free as possible. next step would be feeding, if he eats crickets, let it be for now, once he settles down introduce roaches. If he doesn't want nightcrawlers, don't insist too much now, but you should try when he looks hungry. Nightcrawlers can be in a fridge for a very long time, just get them some dirt.
he is not tong trained, isn't he? before you start training you need to take time and make sure he is eating in general.
