Pacman not eating :(

I'm not sure about that, considering they came from different locations. Maybe they did come from the same breeder though. Perhaps some sort of infection that affects the nervous system? Either way, I'm terribly sorry you had to go through that.

I think it's a VERY good possibility that they came from the same breeder- I heard from a petstore owner that I talk to that pretty much all the frogs in this area come from some breeders in Texas. I don't know about ALL frogs, but Ornates is what she said. So that could definitely be a contributing factor.

It could be enviromental as well. Perhaps there is a toxin involved here. A toxin found in both their enclosures. I am not a vet nor have I had any experience with this, so I can't say for sure

I guess that could be possible, but I had them in a 20 long tank with a divider down the middle, my older and still living pacman on one side, and the babies on the other. There was a divider between them also. The coconut fiber was out of the same bag as what I'd been using for the older frog. He's never had any problems either. I guess I may never know.

random question, does anyone feed their pacman dubia? if so how many should be given daily?

These cockroaches (Blaptica dubia) are an excellent food for frogs like Pacman frogs and African Bullfrogs. I tend to employ the 15 minute rule - give them as much as they will eat in 15 minutes. For young frogs I would feed them every 1-2 days if they are being maintained at a warm temperature - adults every 3-5 days. Those are just guidelines. Cockroaches are not a fattening food so don't be afraid to give more.
