Friends pacman frog - help needed again

[Hypnotic]

Well, it's my friends frog, she has fed him locusts in the beginning but switched to large crickets, wich I always said was a bad idea. She also feeds too much, the frog is an adult and is fed every 2 days.
But I'm make sure she switches to a twice a week schedule.
We are supposed to keep the humidity up and also the temperature to avoid hibernation. Hibernating is never good unless planned.

It is ok to offer more frequent small meals throughout the week or one large meal per week. This is not offering too much, but if the frog refuses food then your friend should not offer food for a few days or try a new prey item.

you know it worries me a lot, not eating and not pooping for 3 weeks, you're on a right track with honey baths, make sure they're warm, feel right and left side, while in a bath gently massage his left (looking from a top when a frog faces away from you), just a little bit very gently massage cloaca too( go around just a few times, very very gently) , check if it swollen, can you take pic of a frog from top? it is bloated probably too.

keeping on cricket diet and locusts, both have high chitin content and can be a cause of impaction if fed exclusively. right now you need to make sure he is all right, pooped and start eating again. your husbandry has to be spot on. honestly if i were you I'd take him in until he is better and after have a good chat with your friend about husbandry and feeding pacman frogs

7-8cm is about 3" - that is juvenile male size, he should be eating every day, unless he wants breaks between feedings and variety of foods, supplemented accordingly.

Well, my eye measurements might be off, I'l be sure to take his exact measurements tomorrow. I'l scout the local fishing stores tomorrow and try to find a decent place that sells nightcrawlers. None of our local petshops offer it and to be perfectly honest, I feel paranoid buying from a fishing store.

don't be, fishing store will sell same stuff, just make sure it is dye free, but i personally have never seen or heard of dyed nightcrawlers, you're safe here.
