I've had my pacman about 9 mouths now he is about 4.5 inches and he has had no problem before now , he happily eats fluffs (mice) and now he will not eat bugs What shall I do
They might be too small and "unworthy". Mice should only be fed as a treat once every few months. The best pacman staple is dusted nightcrawlers. You must make sure the night crawlers are dye and chemical free though

I have tried them before sometimes he ate them sometimes he didn't , what do you mean by unworthy
As in they are too small and the frog does not want to waste energy by eating them

Ok thanks
You can try some larger roaches. My Pac goes nuts over a big juicy hisser
2.0 Bombina orientalis
1.0 Bufo americanus
0.1.1 Ceratophrys cranwelli
0.1 Xenopus laevis
All my arachnids and other inverts listed in my profile
You can also try using tongs to rub the roaches/crickets/worms against the frog's mouth. They'll get annoyed and snap at it, then once they realize that it's a good food source, they'll eat it on their own. You gotta get him to eat something besides mice though. If you feed mice too often, it can cause liver failure and blindness.

Thanks guys I will try and let you no how it goes
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.
