    I have fed my girl the day before shedding and then the next night after she had shed and ate the skin, so I don't know if would be that. And ya that was probably what he was doing, the first time I seen mine shed I freaked because I didn't know what think was happening. But I looked it up and calmed myself down. Its something else to watch. I know there is someone very knowledgeable about pac mans looking through the forum right now so hopefully they see this thread.

    I know it sucks when u feel helpless, my girl(pacman frog) was just diagnosed with water edema before Christmas and its not curable. Hopefully someone can help u soon. And out of all honesty if you think you cant wait I would really try to find a vet that treats herps. IT's costly but its worth it. It will put your mind at ease to have a professional tell you whats wrong. I don't want to worry you but I have read some stories about pacmans that flip over and never really ends well. From what I gather that's a pretty bad sign. Has he flipped over since the first time at all? And I hate to ask this again but u still haven't mentioned if you give him any kind of multivitamin. If not, he needs those vitamins and I bet that has a lot to do with it. And if you are never mind that last part.

    Nope hasn't since that one time, and has been acting fine except not eating as much. I just don't know if he(or I think he is a she actually lol) is just slowing down on eating since he is getting older or if it has to do with the flipping over that one time. Also I forgot to mention the day he flipped over was after I had taken him out to use the bathroom. He won't go in his tank, will only go when I take him out and soak him in a luke-warm bath. So idk if he was stressed from me taking him out that day.

    So im thinking if the eye started just after he flipped over he could of hurt it on the substrate or got something in it and maybe that's whats causing him to close his eye. And if he only flipped the one time and you didn't see how it happened is it possible maybe he fell off that hut or was trying to escape and when he was pushing himself against the glass maybe he tumbled over. When you found him was he by the glass or by the log? Is there anything else in the enclosure he could have knocked himself over on? And im thinking if you still have not answered if your giving him a multivitamin yet that your probably not. His multivitamin and calcium with d3 are things he absolutely needs. And if you haven't given him any since you got him I will bet that is a huge contributing factor to whats going on. And again if you are given it please disregard that last part. IF you got him as baby the first couple months he should have got calcium and d3 every second feeding, which food should have been offered every night as a baby. And the multivitamin should have been once a week for the first couple months.

    Sorry, I just forgot to answer, yes I am giving him his mulitvitamin. And when I found him, it was in the middle of the night, it looked like he was trying to bury, there was a new hole he was digging out. And he never goes on top of that log, just under it. Also his eye was only doing that the other day, hasn't done it since then.

    Hmmm, I don't know then. Maybe he knocked himself over somehow that night and you were just lucky to find him before the morning. And you never know maybe if you didn't wake up that night in the morning he would have been back upright. And his eye, again maybe he just had something irritating it if it was only the one day. Were not watching them all the time so maybe it was just a weird thing that just happened. And ya if he is getting bigger he may be just slowing down his eating, and who only knows how long he was upside that night. And I imagine that really stressed him out so that maybe is why isn't eating now. I would just keep a really close eye on him keep offering him food and see how he does.
