Pacman frog sick? Pleae help!

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.

Ya thats what I was thinking to. I did have another question. I've always fed him crickets, and have also gave him some wax worms before. Is there anything else that he may like better? Everyone I've talked to has always said to give crickets as the staple diet. But I saw you said about nightcrawlers, which I have heard of that before. Also heard of people feeding them pinkies when they are bigger.

As a staple diet nightcrawlers (worms), are the best thing u can pretty much feed him . Crickets have no nutritional value what so ever. That's why u have to gut load them. I bet if you get some worms I bet he will gobble them down. I use to feed my girl crickets and after awhile she stopped, she would take them between her lips then open her mouth and let them just fall out. Now she wont even look at them, she will turn her body from me if I present a cricket to her. L.O.L And if I put a worm there its gone like spaghetti. Ya you can give pinkies but they are like donuts to frogs, very fattening so maybe one a month tops. You can also give hornworms as a treat every couple weeks, but again don't over do it because these are very fattening. If you can get some roaches from a feeder store or pet store those are supposed to be awesome for them. We don't get them up here, and its those big friggin roaches that you use to see people eat on fear factor. Worms and roaches from what I hear are the best. Your frog may feel like the crickets are not worth the energy and is waiting for a bigger meal to come walking by.

Lol, ya when I've been giving him crickets lately, he just wont open his mouth at all. I have to feed him tonight, so I'll see how he does. But I might try to get something else, see if he does want something bigger now. There is a local reptile store here that sells a ton of feeder stuff, thats where I go to get my crickets, so I might see what they have this week.

If all you have ever given is crickets try to grab a couple horn worms, make sure they are not to big and I bet he will those. My girl loves them, just remember only a couple every once in awhile. And try to get your hands on some nightcrawlers, your frog will love you for it.

[vampyregirl]

Ok ya I'll try that. I've always only given him crickets, and I've given waxworms as a treat before to. But thats all.

Update- He did eat tonight, all of the crickets. So maybe he is just slowing down on eating? I hope that is all. But I'm still going to look into getting bigger prey for him.
