    Miguel, howlong did your frog not eat? He can't be a week old if your feeding him crickets, pacmans at that stage still have tails and live in water, or did you mean you've owned him for one week?
    Pacmans can go a while without food, don't force feed emediately. Give the frog some time to adjust, if you've owned him for a week, and allready force fed him, chances are your frog is under ALOT of stress.

Size:  129.9 KBSorry yes I bought him a week ago from pet smart. I have been reading a lot about pac man frogs and everyone says they need to eat daily or every other day. So i was worried. I bought him the Exo terra 18x18x12 terrarium so that when he grows I don't have to buy him another tank. I made the inclosure so it looks natural. This way he feels more secure. Today I re did his terrarium because the substrate I had him in was very wet and they say to be moist but not super wet. After I put him in he burrowed down where I could not even see him. A few hrs later all you can see was his eyes. Input a few crickets in and nothing happened. I walked away for a second and boom he was out. I think he got a cricket but I was not sure. I will just keep an eye out on him this week to see what he does. Any suggestion on what I should do. Thank you for responding. In the photo he is on the left side of the green water bowl. You can see his eyes popping out. Also water bowls are clean now. It got messy with me doing the final touches in the tank

    Your pacman frog still looks really small. The enclosure might be way to big for him and be scaring him. The enclosure should grow along with the pacman.
    This is actually her second enclosure, the measurements are : 11Lx6.7Wx11H. As soon as she outgrows her waterdish, I move her over to the next size. Since she is nearing adulthood, her next upgrade will be her last. She is 2.7" right now.
    And yes, forgive my dirty waterdish, she always bathes right after I change the water (daily )

    What I did was buy a critter keeper and kept my baby/juvenile frog in the keeper. I put eco-earth and a water dish in there with him. I then placed it inside the big terrarium for the climate (temps/humidity). Once he was big enough I released him into the regular terrarium with no problems.

    It looks big, but if he came out when you released crickets, I think he might have gotten one or two. Always count howmany feeders you put in.
    Do you own a pair of tongs? If not, go buy them and gently wiggle the prey infront of his nose. Don't force feed, he needs time to adjust to his new enclosure and force feeding is alot of stress on a little frog.
    Also remember that pacman frogs are nocturnal, so feed an hour after the lights go out.

    I put five in his tank and he jumped at one but missed. At least he jumped, that made my day that at least he is trying. I do have tweezers and will try to feed him now since the lights just went out. Will let you know how he did

    No luck. I took all the crickets out this morning and I will drop four in tonight and see what happens. I will remove the back legs this time so they are easier to catch and this was i can keep track of them.
