    Default Re: New frog/what to do with extra food/other things?

    I'm no expert and i'll never pretend to be, but all my frogs can be stubborn and refuse food for a day or so for no real reason that I can see! Also sometimes my pacman (and one of my whites tree frogs) will refuse to tong feed, so it doesnt give me much of a choice other than to let it roam around, but if I let it sit for a few minutes and keep my eye on it, i'll see a ball of yellow start to chase the cricket around.

    Also I never worried too much about temp..but my ambient room temperatures are more than enough to keep him happy from what I can tell (about 72) and at night it drops to MAYBE 65 but we have a room heater for the extra cold nights, and there is an area of the pacman frogs tank that stays about 80ish from the tiny under the tank heater I stuck to the back of the tank



    also if i rub the food against his mouth I can sometimes get him to bite it but I think it just stresses him out more than anything he will turn away or like...push it away with his little hand? lol its kind of cute but sad. :/ You could try transferring the frog to an empty container (could be a tupperware the frog probably wont care) to try and feed in..but this doesn't always work, the same white's tree frog that wont tong feed won't eat outside of his enclosure either...hes a picky guy..

    and im not an expert just throwing out some things you can try!

    I highly recommend trying live crickets...they're a staple food for a reason My pacman also likes hornworms a lot as a treat...we play tug of war with them a little bit
