My yung pacman frog haven't eaten for over a week

[RallG]

I just woke up this morning, and my little Friend has found a new spot where i was able to snap a picture of him. to night when the lights turn off, i will try to feed him again. I covered half the screen top with ducttape, and it works perfectly, the humidity is alot more stable than before, still a bit to high at 85-90% but it's better that than the swings between 60-95%. i will give you an update in around 12-14 hours and tell how the feeding went.

Just tried feeding him a grasshopper, but it seems like he's afraid of the food? right after i tried feeding him, he jumped away from he's spot back under the fern. He must be really stressed out, i am not sure he will ever get better. it has now ben 11 days since he's last meal and he seems even more stressed now than he did 3 days ago.

[RallG]

He is beginning to move around ALOT now, every night he moves pretty much all over the tank. I dont know if that is good or bad? (He is still not eating)

[RallG]

I was ablo to take a better picture of him.

[RallG]

He has ben moved to another smaller tank with better conditions, and placed in a room with no activity at all. I then left him alone for 4-5 days and tried feeding him again, but he still turned away from the food. I tried this a few times but without luck.
Today i tried forcefeeding him, and it worked so now he has gotten something to eat for the first time in a month.

I'm so sorry nobody replied before, honestly i haven't seen it

anyhow you did good, when a frog is off food for a month force feeding is in a cards. I would soak him in electrolyte solution ( whatever unflavored you guys have for sale) in North America we have Pedyalyte but there are so many names for the same thing. the point is you need electrolytes to soak your frog in, if they come ina powder form, you gotta dilute with water according to the instructions. whatever concentration do for human babies, would work for a frog, at this point i would dilute the solution with 6-8 parts of water and place frog in, water level up to a chin, water should be warm ( 80-82F ish) and put a few drops in honey in that before you put frog in.
that would give him some boost of energy and hopefully he'll be up eating, but the chances are you are looking into ff for a bit, how he is looking now, with these guys patience is a key.
You gotta do something about humidity to keep it in 70-80 range, that is not why he is not eating, it will affect him in a long run. you got background on 3 sides of the tank, it is right?

how you were ff him? can you get some reptiboost in the same way? or if that was piece of nightcrawler you can dust it with reptiboost and ff him.

i found this description "Pedialyte is the #1 pediatrician recommended brand of oral electrolyte solution to help prevent dehydration due to diarrhea and vomiting" If that is what you mean i have found a danish pruduct with the same description under the name "revolyt"

The new tank is a lot smaller, and all 3 sides are covered with cardboard. The humidity is somewhat stable at 80-85% but sometimes goes up to 90 right after a misting.

The forcefeeding where done by opening his mouth carefully with a small spoon in the side of his mouth and i then put a dubia about half way in his mouth and removed the spoon. Then i just left him alone for about 2 min. before checking back on him, and then the dubia were gone.

Pedialyte is an oral electrolyte solution for infants and children that helps prevent dehydration by replenishing vital minerals lost during diarrhea and vomiting. If Revolyt is the same and unflavored, it should be OK. Just follow Lija's instructions for soak. Noted the grasshopper in pic is a bit big for frog size (length should be around distance between eyes). Good luck !

[RallG]

I just got the "revolyt" with the mail today, and i have now given him a bath with that and honny. i will let him soak in it for about 10-15 minutes.

[RallG]

The bath is now over, and i tried to feed him, he still rejected it, so i forcefed him again. This time the forcefeeding went alot easyer than the first time.
