done. Thank you So Much! Right now, he's happily 3/4 buried in paper towels. I feel much better about his well being now.

Keep an eye on him.

I had to go to work at 8pm, but he did fine. He is in the lukewarm bath now - hoping that will get things moving.

The lukewarm water did the trick. Thanks a bunch!

Hello and how is Wacca doing? Although a concern to watch out for, would not stress about a Pacman not pooping for a week or so. Fresita has done that a couple times. Then she makes a mess in her bath for a few days in a row.

The CA/vitamin supplements are important to a growing juvenile. To dust with earthworms I rinse one in a little cup of dechlorinated water. Then use paper towel to dry worm a bit and sprinkle a pinch of CA on worm, then tongue feed to frog. Do that M/F and same for vitamins on W. T/T/Sat frog gets 1/2 dozen adult crickets (mine is 3 in. SVL. Sunday is off feeding day. That schedule works fine for me but you might need to adjust according to frog's response.

The shredded coco comes in loose and bricks you have to re-constitute by soaking in dechlorinated water. I prefer the loose kind; but can save a bit of $ by going with bricks in 3 packs. If so, get the Plantation Soil by ZooMed. ExoTerra's EcoEarth bricks are harder to deal with and I have found pieces of rope, wire, plastics, you name it inside them. The loose EcoEarth does not have those issues. No matter if using bricks or loose; you want to adjust water content so substrate clumps in closed fist without squeezing any water out, just slightly damp.

If buying analog gauges, do compare them at store and avoid any that get away from the average median reading. Have seen 10-20% difference in some humidity gauges at display and you do not want those stray ones. Digital gauges are more accurate but costlier too. Hope this helps and good luck !

Hello. Wacca is doing great. His enclosure is now set up with the substrate, water bath, a half-log for shelter, and terrarium-looking background film. I ended up getting the brick-type substrate. The shop owner had to order the thermometer and hygrometer, as well as the heat mat, so I don't think I'll be able to compare, since he didn't have any in stock. I'll be able to pick those items up a week from today. In the meantime, I bought a 25 watt red nightlight for him, since the nights are so much cooler than the days. I also bought the vitamins and calcium, which I intend to start on right away. I think I'll begin with the calcium with vit. D. He seems much more satisfied with the new set-up. He immediately went under the log shelter and burrowed into the substrate. I fed him before putting him into the new enclosure. Should I take him out to feed him, or leave him in the enclosure? Also, I have crickets (gut-loaded) and earthworms. Should I get more fish, or are the feeders I have now sufficient to keep him healthy? Thank you for your advice. I can use all the help I can get.

Welcome to the forum DJ, it seems you have one happy frog
you don't need fish, they can happily live on a diet of dubia and earthworms/nightcrawlers with occasional hormworm or pacman food or pinky ( no more then 1 a month). feeder fish is not the best food for them for many reasons.
as for feeding, i never am taking my frogs out, it is less stressful for them and time consuming for me to feed them in their homes. but if i were u i would tong train a frog, you'll have less problems later.
