Juvenile pacman frog not eating

[POLISWAG]

Got some canadian nightcrawlers today for him. He seemed to like them.

Did he eat them on his own?

[POLISWAG]

Nope. He first attacked it because he thought it was a finger. I set it there with him for about 20 minutes. I also shut the bathroom lights off and waited. He still hadn't eaten it.

I plan on giving him a male dubia roach today since I have too many of those. Hopefully he'll mistake it for a cricket and eat it

Another thing is, he's already grown an inch

Now that you just mentioned he has grown another inch it made me think of something. If he was around inbetween 2 and 3 inches when you got him that would more then likely make him a juvenile. They should be fed every 2 to 3 days. And if you force fed him that worm you need to stop force feeding and let him chill. If you got him 2 weeks ago and you have been trying to feed him every night since 1. he is probably full 2. he is probably scared and severely stressed out. I would leave him be for a few days and then see what happens when you try to feed. Force feeding should only be done when the frog is in dire need of food and visually has lost weight. It is very stressfull and if he gets to stressed it lower his immune system and then he will vulnerable to becoming sick

Personally I would make sure my humidity/temp are spot on and leave it be. I would also suggest some more plants for cover and cover 3 sides with something. I imagine it doesn't feel very secure and that's probably part of the problem. Also look into Canadian nightcrawlers/similar as a staple. Varied diet is good, but it doesn't get much better than earthworms as regular food source imo.

Does he really need places to cover when he just hides himself under his bedding all day and never comes out?

[monster]

Ya even though they bury in the substrate they still like plants. If you can find a couple with big leaves that would be really good. When they come out at night they will sit under them and all 3 of mine bury under theres during the day. My big female if I take her favourite one out or move it she will pace the front of the tank till its put back in the tank or till I put it back in its normal position. but I must admit out of three she is also the grumpiest and it doesn't take a lot to annoy her.
