Thread: Feeding Confusion

    Default Feeding Confusion

    So I have had my Pacman Frog for 2 weeks now. If she were not to eat in 2 weeks, would she be dead? I have only witnessed her eat 2 times and they were a few days apart. The first time 5 days in of owning the frog was when she at 2 small crickets. Then she ate 2 medium crickets a few days after. Now I haven't seen her eat since. She has been pooping but I never witness her eating. (I drop and leave my crickets) I have been trying and trying to tong feed my frog, and she always closes her eyes, even when the food doesn't touch her. I use chopsticks, or regular tweezers, none seem to work. I cannot get nightcrawlers until she is tong trained and I just can't get it to work. I did see IvoryReptiles tong feeding 101 and 102 and i tried everything they said for what size Pacman i have and nothing worked. (i tried with crickets) If anyone can help please reply. Also, recently, she started taking a poop in the morning, then I went out for about 8 hours and I checked her... STILL POOPING!

    She is probably eating a lot of substrate while trying to catch the crickets. If you break the hind legs off of the crickets it makes them easier to catch. Don't worry about tong feedingbfo now because it isnjust stressing the frog.

    If you add a drop of honey to the frog's bath it may assist her in pooping.

    I have done honey baths, I use 2-3 drops of honey, with warm water and dechlorinator.
