    Unhappy Pacman not eating :(

    Hey,
    I've got an albino pacman called Elaine. I got her in March she hasn't really grown much since i got her ( shes 2") and now she has completely stopped eating and is looking awfully skinny. Getting worried and wondered if anyone had any advice.
    I also got her out the other day and she went all stiff and sunk her eyes in (obviously I thought she had died) until i put her in her bowl of water.

    She has heat, places to hide/burrow, fresh de chlorinated water, I try and feed her every day, i dust the crickets, i don't handle her often. Don't really know what else to do

    I'm no expert with frogs, but have you tried offering her different foods? I've heard waxworms are good to tempt many frogs to eat.

    Has there been a temperature change lately, perhaps this is the cause of her not wanting to eat?

    I'm sure somebody with more experience will be along soon to offer advice, good luck with her.

    I think you are looking at a trip to the vet.

    Yes I agree with Kurt - not eating (and it sounds like she hasn't eaten in a long time) as well as being very skinny are a very serious combination for a frog. I fully expect the frog has bacterial septicaemia. The fact that she hasn't grown at all makes me think that she wasn't in good shape to begin with. Sorry to give you bad news, but welcome to the forum.

    My pacman also isnt eating, the first week I got him/her it ate a few crickets and a nightcrawler, then she didnt eat for 3 weeks until I got her a small frozen mouse which she gobbled up, and now its back to not eating. I'm dangling the worm in front of it but it doesnt seem that interested

    Are you keeping the frog warm? These frogs should be kept at at least 80F (later 20s Celsius).

    yeah 80 temp around 75 humidity, 11 hours or florescent light, plenty of substrate, plenty of hiding spots.

    It's weird he lunged at the frozen mouse, but he really doesnt move much for the worm. I think I need to just try and go back to crickets or something. I don't see roaches available in NY (at least not dubai lol)
