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

[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 !

[Lija]

yeah, it seems Revolyt is the one, i tried to google it but it came back not in English but go ahead if it is unflavoured and without any dyes, it should be clear solution, like water.
instead of dubia i would better do piece of nightcrawler coated with reptiboost, nightcrawler or earthworm is easier to digest then anything else, after not eating for so long it's better not to overload digestive system, but small dubia is fine too.

you said he is not eating, would you please describe how you were trying to feed him as well as what time a day, what food and where. how long has he been in his new smaller enclosure before you tried to feed him?

and you gotta try to lower humidity some more, you want 75-80, not 80-85.

[RallG]

When i try to feed him, it is usually with tongs, or i just drop the insect in front of him, but he never takes it. The time of day is around 10 pm or when it has been dark for a few hours.
The humidity is kind of hard to get any lower without the surface of the substrate drying completely out.

[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.
