When is the ideal time to feed pacman frogs?

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

And IMO if you can keep his day temps at 81f that should be fine.

So after giving him a hot bath and holding a cricket in front of his face for about a minute, he finally ate something. But now he's COMPLETELY buried himself in his substrate, which is unusual because he usually leaves a tiny bit of himself sticking out. Is this normal? He's dug pretty far down in the substrate right now and he's never burrowed this far before

[monster]

Yes its normal for them to completely bury themselves. The handling for the bath probably really freaked him out and he buried himself to feel secure. When my lights go on 9 am I would say 20 minutes later all three of mine are gone completely under. My tanks during the day look like they house a couple fake plants. L.O.L

Depending on the temp, mine is usually half burrowed but on a cold day he'll burrow right down
