Still not eating...

[LouEmbling]

Hi all. The book I brought is good but regarding feeding it's no where near as helpful as just reading this forum thread so thanks. Kermit my horned frog came home with me on Sunday, ate three medium crickets in calci powder and the same yesterday. Today he is burrowing . From this thread I take it I just leave him today burrowed and he should come out for food when he is ready? I was a bit worried as I wanted to clean up his burrow if he's been to the loo bit didn't want him to be unsettled by me moving him? Random question but will I easily see his "output"- is it large and visible to the naked eye? Also ive cleaned his water area daily even though he hasnt used it- is that normal? Ive sprayed the tank twice daily at the same time as i spray my other pets.Thx in advance for any feedback . Lou

Well, he hasn't come up since my last post... Check him and he's still alive. Should i just keep waiting?

wat geef je hem dan te eten ik heb ook een jonge pacman die at de eerste dag niet en daarna wel en hoe geef je hem dan te eten je kunt dit proberen zo at die van mij ook je neemt een plasticbakje zo'n leeg krekelbakje en daar doe je de kikker in met een paar krekels dan wacht je even en dan kijkje of die gegeten heeft maar je weet wel dat je de krekels moet bepoederen met kalk toch en heb je al getest of die gezond is

The "output" from pacman frogs is pretty obvious! Mine go potty about every three days, depending in "input", and the output is huge - maybe 25% of the size of the frog. Usually, they will poop in the water dish or on the surface - mine never go in their burrows, so you don't need to disturb the frog if no waste is in evidence.

He passes stool right when i got him and he went in his water dish. he has not eaten since so im not too worried about that

Ok, so I got him to eat one small cricket tonight! I suppose it's better than nothing...
I guess all I can do at this point is let him adjust to him new environment and eat on his own accord. He does appear to be very healthy still
