    Default New pacman, diet and defecation concerns

    Hey all, first time posting on this forum. I'm a new frog owner, though experienced with other exotics, and I have some concerns with my new pacman. I bought him 4 weeks ago from the pet store I work in, and unless I somehow missed it he has yet to defecate. He has eaten about twice a week, and is offered food every time he surfaces from the earth. I've tried earthworms, pinkies, and super worms, but all he will eat is crickets and samurai pacman food. I'm worried at this point that he might be impacted. He's refusing food more lately, and still no poop. He was on sphagnum for a short while, and I fear he may have ingested some. I'm preparing to bring him to a vet if need be. Below is the specs of his habitat. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    2. # of inhabitants - 1
