Is this regular behaviour?

[Superretard42]

I've had my 8 month old pacman (Chris) for exactly one week now. He hasn't eaten anything at all since I've had him....until now.....kind of! I got him on the Saturday and have been offering earth worms(night crawlers) and wax worms everyday...he's not been the least bit interested. It's now sunday(just over 1 week now) and I thought I'd try crickets. He opened his mouth but didn't really "go" for it....so I shoved one into his mouth when he opened it.....to which he edged back. I finally got one in and he closed his mouth....am I really gonna have to spoon feed him like this all of the time? This is my first amphibian....I've done my research and his setup is ideal to his needs. I was expecting him to not eat for a while as he adjusted to his new home....but am surprised at the way I finally got summat in him.....he opened up but if I wasn't there he still wouldn't have eaten it???

Answer the questions ASAP please.

Keep in mind, however, that frogs often will refuse food for a few weeks when brought to a new home. As long as he is not losing weight and the husbandry is ok i wouldn't worry about it.

Does the frog seem to have trouble flicking out its tongue? That is what it sounds like you described.
