Now at 9 days

[SamuraiJay]

Hey everyone, so my problem still persists with my one pacman not eating. I am at day 9 and becoming frustrated and upset that my frog won't eat. My little samurai (2inches now) is eating every other day like a champ on full nightcrawlers. But I can not seem to get my other PAC to eat. I have pictures from today and from the last time she ate but she will obviously be bigger after a huge meal than not eating after 9 days. But I'll show anyway. Any insight would be great

Looks normal to me.

Cover the sides of its tank. It looks like bare glass in the pictures. If its not it should be dark material. Nothing white or brightly colored that will reflect a lot of light. They prefer dim lighting and will become stressed if their home is too bright.

Thanks for your responses, you two are always so great with helping me!! They are in sterilite bins though, no glass.

Anything transparent must have a background covering it. They feel exposed and become stressed.

How could I go about blacking out a sterilite bin? I have a sterilite cart with 3 drawers that is black but I didn't think they were big enough yet, and I need to buy the heat pads and rheostat for it.

You can use static cling backgrounds. They will adhere to the outside walls of the tub. Or you can use construction paper if you're not worried about looks.

Ok I used construction paper and covered the two longest sides and left the front and back open, but there is barely light at all from those sides and how they sit in my shelf. My samurai blue ate, now im giving my normal some time to adjust, as soon as I covered it she/he came out and was in it's water dish
