A little bit of background: Yesterday, my boyfriend and I picked up a juvenile Pacman frog and brought him home. He has a chameleon and a bearded dragon, and I have had tree frogs and leopard geckos in the past, so we are both well-versed in the herp department! He’s also a petco employee and has helped me with a lot of the set up. We picked up the Pacman frog from a PetSmart where he was kept in a plastic critter keeper (had no thermometer or hygrometer but you could tell humidity was definitely not up to par). We asked how long they’ve had him for, they said about a month. They don’t know how well he eats, they said they just threw crickets in there.and assumed he ate them.... okay... When they were taking him out to give him to us, my boyfriend noted to me that there were MANY live crickets walking around his habitat despite the fact they said they hadn’t fed him that day.
So, fast forward to today, the next day, and I’ve noticed that he hasn’t moved from his spot since last night. I misted him and added a few plants to his 10 gal terrarium and he was sitting on the edge of his water dish. Today, I wake up and find he is still on the edge of the water dish. Temp is at 82° F, I am constantly misting (couldn’t find a hygrometer), and he ate two waxworms last night within two hours of us bringing him home (must’ve not been into a cricket only diet). I know that Pacman frogs are relatively stationary but I also read that the juveniles are remarkably more active than adults.
**Note: I think it is important to add that he is not burrowing neither. He has ground coconut fiber substrate that we soaked last night, maybe it is packed too densely?
