The thing with pacman frogs is that when they are hungry they will eat. So don't worry about him not eating. The time to start worrying is when he stops acting normal and losing weight. Which judging by what you said, your pacman is acting normal. When I used to have pacmans, one of them would go awhile without eating when he was younger. Also I'm not sure how big your pacman is, but if he is small don't feed him too much. Most likely he was over fed and is still digesting his food. Good Luck!
If he's burying himself under the heat lamp, he might just be looking for a warmer spot. The heat is what helps him digest his food.
if your ever worried about your pacman and him going to the bathroom just put him in a nice warm water he should go rather fast and after that he will get hungry. as for the dirt on his head its alright he will use his back legs and push it off you should watch it( its cute haha)
Thanks everyone.. I think he was shedding because now he has brighter yellow and dark brown spots on him.. But I know he poops regularly but I'm just judging by what I saw in his little hole. He is still buried where the sun lamp turns on.. His eyeballs peaking outbut other than that he seems fine he hops around no sprawled back legs.. Everything is fine except his eating.. But I think he is fine
I guess I'm just over protective
i'd recommend ditching the heat lamp, they are not real practical for any amphibian, as it will dry out your frogs skin and your substrate, use an undertank tank heater and stick it to the side of your enclosure, bottom of your tank isnt really recommended as these frogs burrow and can burn them selves
Trust me I tried this Before.. But my house stays BELOW 65 So A heat lamp is needed unless I choose to have head pads Lining EVERYTHING.... so I just Mist LOTS and keep his Soil nice and damp.. So its not HOrrible, plus, he is ALWAYS buried now a Days.. and Has a Hut he Can Hide in thats Cool and damp inside..
