Pacman Frog help

He wont eat unless you do the soaking and spray him to wake him fully out of the mood he is in. Which is basically like when you first wake up and are still out of it and dont know what is really going on

Oh alright i’ll do that then

Alright I tried that but the little guy was not having it. He just hopped around and when I tried offering a cricket he just ignored it.

Actually I take back what I said. I put him back in his enclosure and waited and he decided to stay above ground and I offered him a cricket and he ate it! I offered him two more dusted Crickets and he ate them right up!

Temp is way too cold. You don't keep them at room temp.

Glad that the frog ate finally. Probably adjusting to the new home. Try and get those temps a little higher. You really don't want to be much lower than 78° for day time temps. With improper temps you run the risk of health issues in the long run.

Other than that you seem to be doing okay.

I agree I should have been more clear about daytime/nighttime temps. Usually wanna be between 76/84 as your day time temps and can drop too about 70 as your night time temps

Even 70° at night is a little on the cool side. It should hover around 74 to 76 at night and 78 to 86 for day. Occasionally it wouldn't hurt to drop that low, but consistent drops to 70° can be troublesome.

Oh I know I definitely need to bump up that daytime temp up. It’s never gone below 71 at night but it definitely doesn’t even need to be that low. I’m getting paid soon so I know I need to add some heating. I tried a UTH to the side but it wouldn’t seal properly because of the bin sticking out in a weird way. I removed it without thinking and it immediately malfunctioned. I was thinking of cutting the top open and putting a mesh with a deep heat projector but I feel like it would be too close it might cook the little guy. So I might just have to upgrade him entirely? Or should I go ahead and get something immediately? If you have any other suggestions I’m open to them. Maybe a 10 gallon aquarium? I saw one on Amazon and its height is about 13 inches.
