My Pacman could be in trouble!

Norman is sitting in his little pond, been there for a couple of hours. I also purchased a water filter today which removes 90% of impurities.

Water filters don't remove all the chemicals. You will still need to treat the water with a dechlorinator.

Now that you got Norman active and eating it's time to leave him alone and watch him grow. Change his dish water daily, feed a nice diet of earthworms and gut loaded crickets, add CA 2x and vitamins 1x a week on alternate days, spot clean and do full change cleanup with substrate change once a month, and avoid handling as much as you can. Only other thing you can do is to have vet do a fecal test for possible parasites.

IRT water filter, if you mean a tap water filter; would not use it for frog water if it removes any minerals too. Just use tap water with a good de-chlorinator. Good luck !

Nope! Doesn't remove all the chemicals and heavy metals. It helps, but you still need to treat the water.

I got some de-chlorinator today, mashed up some coco fibre with it, got it nice and damp and gave Normans home a good clean. No poop yet but he has just eaten a waxworm.

great. just be sure to mix up his food, wax worms can help "bulk" them up when they are babies (because of their fat content) but as far as growth and staple food, give them as much variety as you can. chunked earthworm,cricket,roach,pacman food,mazuri reptile/amphibian gel,wax worm,red worms,mealworms ect. and dust every few feedings. just to make sure they are getting their calcium and vitamins.

One thing I have noticed, when I had the moss in there he would burrow, I changed to coco fibre y'day and he won't burrow. I suppose he will adapt to this?
