Pacman Frog Not Eating

[MM70531]

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.

Ok here's a weird one. What does the poop look like. I look everyday but nothing yet.

I can usually smell when mine has pooped, even if she's buried it. The substrate goes from smelling like nothing to completely rank overnight. Sometimes they bury their poo, so if your frog suddenly moved from its normal spot, you can dig where he was sitting before and sometimes find it.

It looks kind of like a giant brown sausage the two thirds the length of the frog's body. Pretty obvious; you'll know it when you see it.

And don't worry about crickets commiting suicide. They aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer, I've seen them commit suicide in 1 cm of water. >_>'
