Hey there again!
So I've been a bit curious as to the habits of pacman frogs. I'm newer to pacman frogs but I'm a fast learner. Since I got him between 3-4 days ago,0 I've already aquired the perfect habitat for him, everything from 80 degrees air temperature to 75% humidity all the way to the coconut soil. But one thing that seems to bother me is that he is just refusing to eat. There's nothing that I've seemed to over look. He's got a dim red heat light in the day along with a heat pad on the side of the tank, and a dark black heat bulb for night, which gives 80 degree air temp at day, and 72 degree air temp at night after unplugging the heat pad for the night. He's got 75% humidity during the day, which drops to 60% at night since I can't exactly spray water while I snooze. He's got a shallow water dish and damp coconut soil. I spoiled him with two large bushy fake plants and a hollowed log to hide in. He's even getting 6-7 gut loaded crickets a day! But he just seems to not eat, not move from his burrow in the back left corner of the tank....ever since I bought him. He isnt in estivation cuz his skin is his normal soft skin. No hardened or stiff skin and no cloudy eyes or body. Normal colors and normal reactions to my hand. He just hides 24/7 and doesn't eat.
Am I missing some crucial component that will alter his loss of apatiette? Or his extreme timidness? I know they hide ALOT and are lazy, but he just never comes out to eat which worries me. They are ambush predators but not once have I seen him ambush the crickets in his tank, not even the ones that crawl over his eyeballs!
He is only between 3-4 days in his new home but my anole and green tree frog adjusted on the first day and ate full meals no problem. I wouldn't think this frog would be much different considering their voracious apetitte.
