Hi everyone! I just joined after reading the threads on this website for a bit.

My pacman frog has not been eating very much lately, and I think it may be from stress. I've had to move him around a lot as I switched apartments to somewhere 4+ hours away, which meant I had to take him on that drive with me and move his enclosure around. He was obviously very stressed out about the journey, and now will not eat, when before he was a perfect eater and took his food from tongs, no problem.

Over about a 3.5 week period he's only eaten 3 times, when before he would eat every other day, so obviously I'm a bit concerned. Nothing has changed except the move, so I'm almost positive the stress is what caused this change in behavior, however I'm worried and wanted to ask if anyone has had a similar experience and has any advice.

Anyway, I don't have any pictures of his enclosure, however I'll answer all the questions below.
