Is my pacman hibernating or dying?

[usadapyo]

So, here's some information I posted on another forum:

Alright, can I panic yet? I got my pacman frog three weeks ago and he wouldn't eat, so I did as someone suggested and started putting mealworms in a dish for him at night. Every morning a couple worms would be gone and a couple would still be in the dish, but today I lifted up the dish to clean it and there were worms underneath it. I now suspect that maybe the worms were crawling out instead of getting eaten. In addition, I dug up the frog (he is ALWAYS under his substrate, I never see him) and not only is he the same size as he was three weeks ago, but he looked skinnier and seemed lethargic. What do I do? I can't even get him to open his mouth to force feed him and he seems to be wasting away.

I looked up why he wasn't eating and it said they don't eat during estivation. Is this what's going on with him?

He hasn't eaten at all ever since I got him. He's about the size of a quarter, and I've had him for three weeks.

11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure?

To small to hibernate and I'd only have the substrate 1 inch deep and his age. Stop him going all the way under. You need to open his mouth and get some pacman food in there. It comes in powder' mix with water makes some small balls.
You will need force feed him. As he is a baby should be eating every other day. He will start to eat on his own after a few week' just feed him a pea size position every other day
