    Default update on trouble catching food

    So it's been a couple of weeks since you guys helped me fix some of the mistakes I was making with my pacman. I am happy to report that he seems to be improving. I have been able to get a nightcrawler in him 3 times per week and am offering crickets occasionally also. He is starting to be able to catch 1 or 2 crickets, so although that isn't back to his normal 4-5, it is better than nothing. It may also be that he is full enough from the worms that he doesn't really need any more than that. He seems to be perky and moving around fine, both in pursuit of crickets, and going for a soak in his dish occasionally. I really enjoy having him, so I appreciate all the helpful advice.

    Try pulling off the crickets rear legs. Makes them easier to catch, and is common practice.

    Or you could remove the hind legs and cut the other legs' tip so it can still run but prevent the cricket from climbing unto anything

    Frog looks good ! Just remember to keep enclosure parameters under control and the substrate damp. Good luck!
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
