Albino pacman not eating, help please.

[froghub]

Update:
Pixie is still not eating, tried with some nightcrawllers and nothing. I did crickets in the morning, and nightcrawllers after lights out and nothing. I've passed it on his paws too, and nothing.
Whats the possibility of him being blind? How can i tell?
I'm afraid he might die it's been a while since he ate, should i force feed him once or something?

If you cant do nothing about the lighting till your thermostat with lighting comes in then I guess the frog will just have to wait. Out of all honesty I wouldn't try feeding during the day and just wait till night when they normally eat, its just added stress. From the sounds of it I think hes just really stressed out from all the interaction the last 2 weeks, they really need a couple days of quiet and no interaction to settle. Once you have all the husbandry right if hes still not eating then there could be a underlying illness or something and he may need a vet. When you feed him do use tongs or do you just let the crickets run around? If your doing tongs maybe wait till its really dark and just put the crickets in leave the room for abit and maybe he will catch and eat a couple of them, sometimes when they are small the tongs really freak them out. Have you divided the tank yet in half? If not this may help to, if he was in something small before you got him the extra space may be making him feel vulnerable and he doesn't want to move or do anything because hes scared.

Thanks again for your answer Monster, i will devise it first thing in the morning, i'll leave it at around 30x20cms instead of 50cmsx20cms, i'll only leave the plant and the bowl, he seems to like more the plant to hide than the hut does this sounds good?
yes he was in a little transparent box with water at the store and they had a normal very bright light above, which i found to be stupid and i really hope there was no UVB in that, then i'll leave him untouched for two days or so then retry the crickets. I already did both, tweezers and letting them running around for the night, but even without back legs they hide in the plant and everything and the frog doesnt even try, they all were still there the next day. The only one he ate was with tweezers, almost two weeks ago.
Anyway for the lights, i bought a old fashioned analogic timer(the ones that turns and usually are robust) which i'm going to receive tomorrow throught amazon prime, so i'm trying to fix my little frog for now.
Also, my Thermostat (the one working now) has the probe around 5cms higher than the frog, not touching the glass and arround 20cms frog the ceramic lamp, which is dimmed to around 25w, i don't know if this is the correct way, normally under the lamp to the right side is 28degrees C and it drops to around 27.5 to the corner in the right. The left corner always is arround 25.8° (where the hygrometer is) Should i bump this numbers on the left side up, or is this fine being the cold side? The water bowl is in the middle.
I believe that my hygrometer is way off too. Sometimes it says 99%, which is impossible, then it goes back to 80%, might be when i spray it. It is also arround 5cms higher than the frog, should i put it higher or is it fine? Anyway this part doesn't worry me, i know that the coco fiber should be moist but not wet.
And really, thank you very much for answering Monster, you're helping me a lot in this hard beggining.

I don't measure in cm's but you want it to be about 1 inch to 1/2 inch above the substrate and the same as the hygrometer. Having a cool side is good because it lets him regulate his body temps from hot to cold. If he backs up from your hand or the tweezers his vision should be good because this would indicate he see's it, and your right that the lights shouldn't be to bright. I would wait till tomorrow when its divided and everything is good and see how he does, it could really be the going from something small to something big. I know your worried but I would maybe just leave him till tomorrow and give him a night off from being interacted with or even just try feeding for a couple minutes if you cant resist.

Thanks again for your answer, so got the analogic timer in place with a 2w led and a soft difuser so it isnt too bright. Cycle is from 8 to 8pm, Instead of divising the terrarium i actually emptied it and put a little box inside, with the 4 sides covered with some A4 paper and i put the plant and the water bowl. Frog is now in a 28x18cms container, which is half of the terrarium, he hasn't a lot of space to move but he seems more relaxed. I'm going to wait for tomorrow to feed him. Thanks again for the replies monster.


Does it seems good for you guys?

[monster]

That's perfect, it may seem like he doesn't have a lot of room but he will be ok. If you wanted you could give him a smaller water dish but it really isn't needed, everything he needs is just a hop away. A lot of people do it this way also till they grow into there bigger tank.

Thanks again Monster, okay setup is good for now then, i'll give him tonight alone and tomorrow night will try to feed him and leave the crickets in there a bit to see how it goes. Thanks for the support, i hope he eats now cause he's needing
I'll keep you posted about the eating and growing part i'll give you some news tomorrow.
I've seen a lot of people who take the pacman frogs into a faunarium so they can eat and put them back in the enclosure later, is this a good idea or should i feed him as i do in his own enclosure?
