If the frog is pooping, then he has to be eatting something. You may need to figure that out.
I don't have much experience with pacman's but what was he/she fed prior to you receiving the frog?

I would post pics of the tank/enclosure and frog in case someone sees something right off the bat that would cause any issues.

well i did post pics earler and my guess is its too hot on the one side where the water is...i just dont know. lol. maybe a uth on the warm side and tin foil over the top half idk...but i can only get temps of 85 with a uth on the warm side and that sucks the humidity right out of the air...i guess ill try the tube and see if thats ok. cuse it holds moister better and i can prolly just uth on the one side

How wet is your substrate? Don't they like to bury down in the moist bottom? Like I said, I'm not a Pacman keeper, nut would think if the soil was wet and the ambient temp was 80 and the top was mostly covered, you would have a good amount of humidity.

Dons right, humidity is probably fine-- they bury, that's what they do best.
