HELP PLEASE!! pacman feeding problem

[Abe]

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.

I cant go to the store to get the light fixture until tomorrow. Should i still try to force feed him? His temp is at mid seventees.

That is too low for a day.
Yes tonight try to feed him ( annoying) to start with, if it is not happening force feed, but one chunk of nightcrawler ( length equaldistance between eyes), coated with reptiboost only.

When you get lamp or uth( attached to the side) make sure you dont have huge temp jump. From 75 go for no more then 80 ( day) and then you will have night temp drop fir a few degrees and the following day you can go for 82.

Sure thing. Thanks alot Lija i appreciate your help greatly. Ill update on the progress

[Lija]

You're welcome, hope he is gonna be all right eventually. Good luck with feeding.

I set up Franks heat now. His temp might vary from either 81F or 87F because of the temp guns error margin. Ill feed him again tonight. I was wondering if pacmans like their temps high. The vivs temp varies around the surface so i figure he can regulate as he pleases.
