HELP, my baby pacman frog wont eat!!!!

[BeardedSnailurd]

Hello, I went on sunday to go to an expo and I bought a baby pacman frog! But sadly he wont eat ANYTHING Ive waited and waited because I know they have to get used to there habitat and whatnot. But he/she wont eat its been almost a week! He lives in a Exo Terra medium sized terrarium, eco earth substrate, heat pad,heat lamp, water bowl, and a random little plant. I use clean water I spritz him every day have a 12 hour on off with the lamp. he/she comes out in the morning but is never interested in food when I place the food in front of JUGG (frog name) he just goes back into his burrow like he is running from it! Please help meh

Oh and i forgot to mention he did leave me a "present" one morning. Also i managed to open his mouth and place a worm in there so he ate it. but this was acouple days ago and he looks abit big.

Do you dechlorinate the water you're using for the frog? This means all water including the water dish, misting, and water used to expand the substrate.

Post pictures of the setup and the frog as well.

I've never owned a Pacman but based on everything I've read from those who have on here, it sounds like your temperatures are a bit too low and that could be the cause of the frog's lack of appetite. Most people round here suggest low 80s during the day and no lower than mid 70s at night. Try increasing the temps to those levels and see if that helps. Also it might help if you posted a pic of the enclosure.

wait, you are saying he lives in med sized exo terra, meaning he lives in 18x18x18, that way way way too big for a baby. you need exo terra nano or medium sized critter keeper, nothing bigger then 8x8 or similar for a baby, he is scared in big space, when you scared to become food you are not likely to eat yourself
next - temps are too low for night and day too, you want to keep day at 80-82 ( no less then 80) and night 76-78.
heat pad - where is it located? didn't quite get .
and reply to Grifs what kind of water do you use.
pls post pic of a frog as well. thanks
