albino pacman frog not eating

[woeisleticia]

I've had him for 2 months and hes never eaten by himself, I try to feed him every other day, with no luck, ive tried in and out of his enclosure, ive tried, crickets,dubias,pinkys,superworms,hornworms,mealwo rms, he wont eat anything. his temps are good, i have him on eco earth and moss, and i mist his tank 2 times a day. I've been force feeding him once a week, since he isnt eating, but i know thats probably stressing him out, so what should i do? help please

I'm still learning about frogs. I Hope I can be of some help. This works from my Beardies when they are off their feed, I would hope it would work with Frogs, I have you tried a Caloric Supplement & Appetite Stimulant Like Jump start?

Welcome to the forum You've had him for two months without him eating?? poor little guy First thing you should
do is toss the moss, it can cause blockage in the intestinal tract in the frog.

If there is moss inside his enclosure, there is most likely an impaction. Check for a hard lump on his right side. If its there, prepare a bowl of luke-warm dechlorinated water with a drop of honey, soak him in this solution for 10 minutes daily.

I'll be sure to call the cavalry...

I don't feel any hard lump and he has been going to the bathroom
