Pacman Frog Not Eating

[Hypnotic]

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.

Here is a update. I had five crickets I the tank last night and this morning I only find two that committed suicide in the water bowl. This must be a good sign. I still have yet to see him eat but it must be happening since three are gone. Also he has yet to use the water dish by him self. I keep the humidity at 80%. ????

They only use the water dish when they feel a little dry. They won't use it if the soil is moist and the humidity is correct.

Oh ok, Thanks. For some reason I thought they would use it for bathroom needs. I guess the coconut fiber is doing well and humidity is good because he seems to be a very happy frog now. Still getting use to the home but at least he is out of his burrow now at night and crickets are missing, how often do you change out the dirt???

Happy owner now lol

Some do seem to like using the bathroom in their water, but that's probably more of an individual quirk than anything.

Substrate changes should happen about once a month, and spot cleaning between if you find any poo.
