    If the mold was found in only one spot then I would recommend leaving the substrate for now. Keep an eye on it and if you find more over the next few days then replace it.

    The sounds you were hearing from your frog, did it sound anything like this?

    Okay thanks Julia I'll keep and eye out! About the croaking, I'm not sure now, I know since before how a Pacman should sound but maybe it's a attempt to croak? Always been unsure if my Pacman is a he or she, I heard the sound some minutes after the lamp turned on as mentioned above, maybe he think he's a rooster. :S

    Question remaining about the toilet needs... who will replace the question marks for me?

    Lol sorry I can not answer your question about the lack of feces. Although I keep several different types of lizards and frogs, I have never had a Pacman. With my Bearded Dragon sometimes he waits up to 2 weeks to go to the bathroom. I know for lizards you place them in warm water and it helps them go. My frogs on the other hand seem to go nonstop so I've never had to deal with them in that way. Hopefully someone with experience with Pacman frogs can answer that question for you. Good luck!

    What generally works for me is when I put the animal in shallow warm water(not boiling. or uncomfortable). Put the frog on there leave it for a couple of hours(make sure its shallow so only half the body is covered). If it doesnt take a dump take it to the vet. Mostlikely has intestinal blockage. That is why I hate to use coco husk. I prefer using regular soil.

    Yah it can be bad with coco husk but I check when he's eating and he's good at spitting out everything that's not food. Okay, I'll try that tomorrow but shouldn't husk pass? I mean If I ate some dirt I wouldn't die, and the coco is much more soft. Isn't it weird btw if he would have eaten like 16 cockroaches and not looking like a ballon and not taking a dump? He must have a hidden place... I just know it... ><

    I definitely wouldn't keep pacman frogs on coconut husk. Use coconut fiber (coir).

    Okay i better change it then, have to wait though until I move in a month, it's hopeless to get coco fiber in this town, they only sell its husk counterpart, and it's the same on internet all coco fiber is sold out every time you look. Stupid substrate I use from exoterra even had a pacman frog on it's packaging... didn't think it would be that dangerous then.

    About the water bath today, how "warm" is warm? Should it be a little warm for me or can it be shower warm? Celsius someone?

    One more question is Exo terra Jungle bark or Forest bark better? Still can't find any coco fiber...

    *UPD@TE*
    He's done it! And it was really big... 1/3 of his size (if you put them together 2 lumps)... Didn't look like any substrate was in it but there's a lot of shells parts from roaches, maybe I shouldn't give him roaches as often? Try to vary his food more? Have no idea why he hasn't done "it" before maybe the water in his bowl hasn't been warm enough for he hasn't bathed that much lately. Should I stop feeding him now for some days and give him some more baths if there's "more" that hasn't come out yet? I think I'll just feed him in his water bowl to avoid impaction until I move. Love ya all!
