One week ago I aquired 8 baby pacman frogs. FIve of the frogs eat no problem but the other 3 have not eaten since they arrived. The trouble in enclosure list will be filled out below, information is the same for all three frogs. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
1. Size of enclosure = 5 gal
2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences = 1 single frog
3. Humidity = 80% ish
4. Temperature = high 70s low 80s at day low 70s at night
5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish = tap with aquarium conditioner
6. Materials used for substrate = coco fiber
7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials. = live pothos (thoroughly cleaned entire plant including roots before planting)
8. Main food source = crickets and cut up nightcrawlers have been offered via tongs and frogs have been placed in smaller, dark enclosure with food
9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often) = none but will be 2 or 3 times weekly once eating
10. Lighting = ambient
11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure = UTH on side of tank
12. When is the last time he/she ate = unknown
13. Have you found poop lately = no
14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine) = unable to take pic at this time
15. Describe frog's symptoms and/or recent physical changes; to include it's ventral/belly area. = no physical changes thus far. Frogs stay burrowed and turn away from food/close eyes/bat away with arms when food is offered.
16. How old is the frog = couple of weeks slightly smaller than half dollar
17. How long have you owned him/her = 1 week
18. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred = CB
19. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats = crickets and night crawlers
20. How often the frog is handled = only when moving to smaller feeding enclosure with gloves
21. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area = low
22. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc)
= water changed daily. misting 3 times per day
