Pacman frog sick? Pleae help!

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.

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.

That's good to hear. It isn't even just the bigger prey, I would just get him on something more healthy. And he will probably love the change. I grab 2 dozen worms a month and it cost about 8 bucks and to be honest I almost always have a couple left over, but then my girl is only eating every 3 days right now.

Where do you get the worms? From a pet store or walmart?

I get mine from a bait shop most of the time but if he is out I go to petsmart. I have never tried walmart, and when I get them from petsmart I open them there in front of someone and make sure im happy with conditions and looks of the worms. The first couple times I didn't check and when I got home and opened it half of them were dead or very shriveled up. So now I check before I leave. I know theres people on the forum that go to walmart and they have dyed and none dyed in the fishing/outdoors department. You want to ask the person you see for none dyed. I had to get some at petsmart today and they were nice big juicy ones.
