HELP PLEASE!! pacman feeding problem

[Lija]

Right i didnt noticed the dimensions of the tank

So Carlos had covered husbandry.
Ill do vet part. You will need to do water baths with pedialyte for at least 3-4 days, you need to flush toxins out. You will also need to get reptiboost and use it, you can coat nightcrawlers with it or even crickets if he refuses worms, but just to feed reptiboost, for a food use inly nightcrawlers. They have the best ca/d balance and easy digestible.
See how it is going, you will most likely need to force feed critical care formula, but if he eats nightcrawlers it is not needed. Yet.
Pls update us how it is going, we might suggest different game plan accordingly.

I cleaned his tank And disinfected it. I also put him on moist paper towels and covered his viv almost entirely with a towel. I have a thrmostat and a temp-Gun. For the substrate, do i change it once a month while in this condition or is that in general?

[Lija]

That is in general, you need to change it every month, but wet papertowels you need to change every day.
you will also need to get ca/vitd3 powder (every second feeding) and multivitamin powder ( once a week or less depending on how often he eats), but that is later, now you need reptiboost +feed him as much as he can eat every single day.

I also think fecal exam would be a good idea to do.

I gave Frank His pedialyte bath tonight. After his bath i tried feeding him the crawlers but he didnt take it. I also tried to feed him a Reptaboost dusted cricket but he didnt take it unfortunatly.today i bought all his things for his new setup and he will be housed in a much smaller viv. Thanks alot guys God bless you.

I gave Frank his second pedialyte bath tonight. I also set up his new viv and tried to feed him again but he didnt eat . Im really afraid he might die because he looks really weak. He seems really defensive also.

Here are some pics of his new setup, I would of had his heat ready but the heat emitter I bought didn't fit the dome I had .

Do you have proper humidity and temps now? For best feeding response try to feed him at night, about 30 min after lights are off and temps drop.
He doesnt look good in that pic. Time to force feed him if he doesnt eat on his own. You can start with nightcrawlers coated with reptiboost, cut a piece from pointy end of nightcrawler, coat it with reptiboost and force feed him 1 chunk today, if he is all right, then 2-3 tomorrow. The best would be to force feed critical care formula ( for cats and dogs, available at vet clinics), but it is a bit tricky to feed it when it is your first time feeding.
How to force feed. The best to have a helper who would hold a frog steady, then use plastic card to gently open his mouth and as soon as he do that stick a piece of worm in his mouth. The procedure is stressful but at this point i dont think you have time to waste. You can try to annoy him to open his mouth on his own, gently rub his lips with a worm, sometimes that annoy them to the point they bite and eat it. Try. If not happening force feed. Carry on on pedyalyte baths.


Keep in mind your temps have to be in proper range.
