My pacman won't eat bugs

[Randy]

i feed my mice cheese ,lettuce ,cabbage , greens,carrots and cereal,occasionally peanut butter ,and crackers.In their water i put a little pedialyte,and i give them wheels to run on . I feed my crickets sugar breadcrumbs and flukers orange http://www.flukerfarms.com/orangecube.aspx.This i feed to my pacman frogs .In the summer i let my frogs out in the yard and they hop around a lot to get exercise and in the winter i have a water filled tank(50 gallon) for them which they love and they move around that tank a lot too for exercise.

Just throwing this out there in case new keepers happen to be reading this... You REALLY shouldn't let your frogs outside. Even if you don't put any pesticides or chemicals on your lawn, anything that washes in with rainwater from somewhere else could be on there. That would just stress them out. They spend their days in the wild buried up to their eyes so that they can avoid the exact situation you're putting them in (out in the bright sun with no cover).

I've been rubbing the insect on his mouth he only ate on about a week ago and that was by himself apart from that nothing

lol they have a covered porch for the outdoor tank and they perked right up listening to the native frogs outside ,they even mated being outside , in the daytime they burrowed at night they came out .I live in the country not the city you can drink the rainwater here .

You probably don't drink the rainwater off the ground... Runoff can come from anywhere. Mating doesn't mean they're happy; it means they've had enough of a 'shock' to make them think the seasons have changed and it's time to breed. And that still doesn't change the fact that they should not be kept outside. You can't monitor their surroundings, heat, and humidity enough (if you're in Illinois, I'm willing to bet you don't have 80% humidity outside all day long; I'm in the South, and that rarely happens here). Frankly, you're taking risks with your pets' health that don't need to be taken, and telling you otherwise doesn't seem to get the point across.
