Pacman Frog Not Eating

[DVirginiana]

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. >_>'

This morning Mr. Packman frog was in his water dish. The water was gone. Not sure if he splashed it off or what so I filled it up with him in it and he was there while I took a shower and got ready for work. Then he moved to the other side of the tank under the fake log I have and was there when I left. Since he was not in his normal place I took out the coconut soil he was in and replaced it, just in case he pooped there. He is getting more active every day. Also the two crickets I put in last night, gone, I would love to see him eat them so I know he is eating but they are gone and I know they can’t escape, I remove the back legs off the crickets and I think this helps him. Happy camper here.

Don't worry about the missing water, it could have been splashed out or even absorbed by the frog. Theres only one way to see them eat, tong feed or wait when you throw the crickets in and watch. I often peek in during the night, sometimes I catch them moving around and even taking baths and pooping.

Lol I sat there one night for like two hrs to see if he would eat. The crickets were all over the place even in front of him, and nothing. I thought about putting up my go pro and record him all night to see what happens.

Ok I have an update. Today I was sitting on my bed looking at him and saw a cricket walk by and boom he ate it. That made my day. Also tonight I finally saw this big lump on top of the dirt and guess what he or she pooped finally. Another thing that made my day. I have hooked up a zoomed hydrotherm with a ceramic heat 82 durning the day and 78 at night. I have the repti fogger at 75% humidity. I also have a 13 watt exoterra day light bulb on from 7am to 7pm on a timer. And everything has been working great. I guess he is a happy frog now.

Good for you Miguel! Now that it's eating might want to start giving food supplements. More info on that in here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html. Also, can offer him night crawlers (not dyed) from Walmart's sport section or a local bait shop. For a small frog can cut worm from pointy end about mouth size for babies, same as frogs length for juveniles, and whole worms for 3 in. and above. Good luck !
