Pacman needs help - poor eating habits, won't burrow or move much at all, losing weight

I still think that the set up is stressing your pacman out. Move it to a smaller enclosure with a heat mat and leave it be. Then feed it some calcium dusted superworms. I had the same issue with my pacman until I moved it to a shoe box storage container and switched to heat mats.

Thanks very much for all of your input. I forgot to mention that there is a heating pad under the tank, but I feel as though the enclosure is too big and the humidity is drastically affected by the misting and disappears an hour later. I have occasionally dusted his food but I have not in awhile, and the next time he eats, it will be dusted.

As for skin issues, is it a bad idea to use the shed assisting spray from my water dragon days for the frog? From what I can tell, it's mostly vitamins and aloe, but I know frogs' skin is very sensitive.

And I'll get superworms tonight. Are they okay straight up? I know some people don't use them unless they smash their heads because they pose a threat of biting before they die.

Thanks again everyone!

Minor update:

I cranked the heat up and sealed the enclosure with a glass top to keep humidity around 85-90%. I also put him in a corner and covered that area with a few extra items to hopefully calm him down. I'm gonna give hime 48 hours and try to feed him a dusted superworm.

Thanks again everyone.

You dont need to cut the head off of the superworm.
