I have owned Puck, my pacman, for over 2 weeks. The first week he was eating 2-3 crickets every other day (from tongs). While many things I have read said to feed juveniles daily, I was happy that while adjusting to his new environment he was eating at all. However, on the second week things changed. He stopped eating anything (I've tried crickets, powdered food, and nightcrawlers). He now buries himself when you pass food in front of him or he hops away.
He has also started to hide all of the time. I know they bury themselves but the first week he would come out at night and soak or do something (though I do know that he soaks sometime in the middle of the night because there is always fresh substrate in the water dish).
I just don't know if I should worry or do something for this poor guy. He's about the size of a silver dollar. The tank is a 10 gallon long. The substrate is coconut fiber and the water is always dechlorinated. He has two plants, and big bushy one he loves next to his water dish and a smaller one next to his half log hide. Temps range from 75-78 during the day and 72-74 at night maintained by an under the tank heater placed on the side a day a light with a dimmed daytime reptile bulb 60 watt. The humidity ranges from 60 to 90 maintained by my spraying the tank. The tank is not in a high traffic area.
He definitely looks round and his color looks the same (a nice green with dark spots) so part of me thinks I should worry, but I figured I'd at least ask if someone has any idea of what's going on or if I should change something.
