When is the ideal time to feed pacman frogs?

[jamien]

So far I don't think my new pacman frog has been eating. He stayed burrowed for a while and resurfaced about a day ago. I believe a cricket may be gone but I'm unsure and may have miscounted. I recently just removed the crickets from his cage and I was wondering when the ideal time to feed him would be, morning or night? He seems to usually be burrowed in the morning but I just tried feeding him a little bit ago(at night) and a cricket literally walked over him and he did nothing.

Night, horned frogs are nocturnal as most amphibians. If you get a red or blue light you can turn that to help to see. What size are the crickets? They won't touch small crickets, aim for the width between the eyes for size to half the size of the frog. Try superworms to get your frog feeding, if it's large enough, my frog prefers them and goes for them straight away.

I've been feeding him pretty large crickets. He still isn't eating and I'm not sure why. He unburrowed himself for a while but now he's gone back to burrowing. I tried feeding him last night and again crickets were just walking over him and he did nothing. I can't figure out why he won't eat

Hi, did you end up getting more heating for him or are you still around 75f for heat? and have you found poop since he has went off food? If he is impacted and cant poop it may make him not want to eat.

My room is decently cold and with the heat lamp I have I usually get around 74-80 degrees. And he went to the bathroom the day I got him.

This brings about another question. Since my room is so cold, is it bad when I have to take the heat lamp off and the temperature drops down to around 70?

I'm also not sure how to get more heat for him. I got a different type of lightbulb that is supposed to give off more heat, but oddly enough it doesn't seem as bright as my old lightbulb and the temperature still hovers around 75-79 most of the time. But my thermometer is a little weird. Sometimes it jumps from 74 to 83 so I'm not sure what the temperature is most of the time.

EDIT: I just checked his cage and the temperature is reading 81... which is weird because usually it hovers around 77. Not sure why its hotter now. Oh also, how do I keep the humidity at around 70-80? I spray some water in the terrarium in the morning/afternoon and it goes from 50-60 to over 80 then slowly drops back down to 60ish

You're probably better getting another thermometer, digital ones are best. For the humidity, you'll eventually get the idea of how much to mist to get to what percent but if it only goes over 80% for a short period of time that would be okay and 60% is good
