When is the ideal time to feed pacman frogs?

This is the type I have. http://www.amazon.com/Zilla-Incandes.../dp/B001VGX6MG

And I just tried feeding him earlier and he clearly wants none of it. My hygrometer is also reading about 50-60 and I sprayed it with water this afternoon. I noticed some of the eco earth in the cage is looking crumbly and dried out also.

That's a night bulb so yeah can be left on 24 hours I thought you meant normal daylight one so was worried. I still don't trust them though, I've used those before on my pacman, tree frogs and marine toad and all of them weren't liking it it but as few mins later after turning it off you can hear the tree frogs jumping about happily. If he continues to refuse food I would really consider looking into a ceramic or heat mat but you'll need a thermostat to use both of those. It took a lot of fiddling and money to get my frog happy but the stuff I don't use now I just use with other frogs but out of all the heating stuff I use I prefer heat mats as frogs in general don't bask so heat lamps aren't the best, though some tree frogs like them. 50-60 is fine really, as long as it's moist, they're not tropical like darts. I've found pacmans can be really fussy at times but they're so hardy and won't perish right away like most phibs would

So what do you think I should do? Just wait until he wants to eat?

I'd wait, see if he gets better and if not get a heat mat and thermostat. It works for me, a heat mat covering one third of the floor connected to a thermostat so the frog doesn't burn itself. The frog seems to know where he can the heat and burrows or moves away from the heat mat as needed. It doesn't have the drying effect as light bulbs or ceramics
