    When I joined this forum, it was because I had a similar problem with my frogs. And the people here helped me right away. Ever since, I've been trying to live up to their example. Also, I like helping other frog owners

    How big are the crickets in comparison to the space between the frogs eyes? If they are bigger than the space between the frogs eyes, the frog won't eat them. Could you post some pictures of the frog? That would really help.

    I'll go get Grif, Heather, and some of the other experts.

    Not a problem. Helping other frog owners is one of the things we do here at the Frog Forum.
    My Amphibians:
    1.0.0 Rana Catesbiana (Bumpy Digtoad )
    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor

    We need to see detailed pictures of the "muck". This sounds like some kind of infections, but to be sure we need to get a good look at the frog.

    Not feeding the frog would not cause this. I'll post the link to some questions for you to answer. You will need to repost the answers here in your thread. http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...enclosure.html

    i see you have the best of the best in here helping you. i only want to add one thing. about the frog being over sensitive. if you were accidentally touched by something as large and metal (in comparison to the frog) you would be a bit hesitant to move as well, so i wouldn't add that as a "symptom".

    best thing you can do for your frog right now is answer the questions on the form that Grif posted the link to, add some pics so we can see what we're dealing with and we can go from there.
