    And Xandster, don't force feed, wiggle the prey gently from left to right underneath his top lip. Don't force it, eventually near all pacmans get so annoyed, that they start biting.

    Sorry your frog is not doing well . Sadly in this case, you received bad care information from store and they where not feeding it correctly: http://www.frogforum.net/pacman-frog...an-frog-2.html. Things to do right now are to provide frog with a stressful free enclosure with proper heat and humidity parameters. Also need to get frog feeding and monitor it's pooping. I've already linked a good care article on your previous thread and Dan gave you good information too. Lastly; I've moved out of this thread all discussion related to another member's frog to prevent any possible confusion since the two cases are different and merged your two similar issue thread discussion together. Hopefully we can help your frog better now .

    An albino can't have any daylight in his enclosure. Did you correct that? As previously stated; babies should be kept at 82F and 70-80% humidity. The shredded coco substrate should be mixed with dechlorinated tap water (bottled water can be over-filtered for humans use and that is not good for frogs) until it's slightly damp and clumps in fist but does not drip water out. You can use same water type for frog's bath and misting. Best water dishes for babies are those that have built in ramps. Myself would add a small silk type plant or foliage to help provide frog some cover.

    Force feeding a frog is very stressful to them and only to be used on a visibly emaciated animal. Be very gentle when handling frog (wash hands and rinse with dechlorinated tap) and give it a bath as follows prior to feeding next few days. Mix 90% 80F dechlorinated tap with 10% unflavored Pedialyte or similar baby electrolyte solution. You can give bath in a very small critter keeper or a plastic cup with holed up top filled with solution to frog's chin depth for around 20 minutes. Then release frog back into enclosure and offer some food. Do this around 30 minutes after sunset; Pacmans are nocturnal.

    Crickets or other insects should be sized same a distance between frog's eyes. Gut load insects with fresh veggies (carrots and lettuce) and cereals (oats and cherios) 24-48 hours before use. The electrolyte bath should perk frog up and the insects movement will help attract the frog to eat. Once you get frog eating you can use this information to start it on supplements: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html. Good luck and please let us know how this goes !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
