My Pacman Frog isn't eating anymore.

If you put the water on the heat side (in a heat safe container!) it'll help keep the humidity up, but your water will evaporate a bit quicker. Since I wanted the humidity, I put mine on the heat side, but I have those clay balls, and dirt, between it and the bowl. I also put some polished stones in the bottom of the container. I'm using a food grade microwaveable glass bowl for his pond. He seems to like it, and the rocks make it easier for him to hop out.

Hopefully your friend perks up soon! If you get really worried (and brave) you can slap a SMALL amount of baby food (chicken or turkey) on his lips. He'll lick it off, and it'll give him some protein. I do that to my gecko occasionally when he's in an eating slum, and it seems to help perk up his appetite. It pisses him off though, and he doesn't have teeth, so... decide how much you like your fingers first.

It might be because in your feeding video you accidentally put calcium on him. Hope this helps

Thanks for all the posts everyone!

The temp is running at 80 right now. It usually runs 80-85, but sometimes it used to get up to 90 back when I had that plastic lid in his 7qt. I doubt it will get that high with the screen lid that I have on the 10 gallon encloser. I am aware that Pacman Frogs are instictively hesitant to eat when it is colder, due to the fact that they are coldblooded and need heat to properly diegest their food, but I was thinking as long as it was above 79 it would be fine?

Does anyone know if those "reptile rocks" are microwave safe? That is what I have for my Pacman Frog right now. It is right up against where I am going to put the heater, but that is only because I didn't think about it when I placed it there. If that will not work, I will go ahead and move the water dish to the cool side.

I can put the heater in now because my josh's frogs order arrived on schedule and in great condition! They packaged the equipment well, and I will most likely be ordering from them in the pretty near future. THANK YOU JOSH'S FROGS!!

I may try the baby food thing if my Pacman Frog is still hesitant to eat. Is there anything I need to look for that might harm my Pacman Frog in baby food? My Pacman Frog has bitten me before LOL. Actually, if you look at that vid, you can see when my Pacman Frog is in the big, 1.5g container with the red (but it looks pink) light, you can see my Pacman Frog bite me, and you can hear me whisper,"Ouch!"

Good observation malepyxiefrog. I hadn't connected that to his suspicious behavior lately. I sort of doubt it was that, because I cleaned all that stuff off and gave him a good bath (and got the cutest picture of him). That was afew weeks ago, I think.

Something to thinnk about, my tongs and my heater is here for my Pacman Frog. The tongs are impressively long with padded ends. I can use those to feed worms (earthworms I mean, my Pacman Frog would ponce on a mealworm or waxworm if I fed him LOL), crickets, pinkies for the future, and maybe even some baby food.

I have no idea if they are. I imagine it would be fine over the heater, since its actually made for reptiles, they had to assume someone would put it near a heat source.

I accidentally cover my frogs in calcium all the time. -_- They just sit there and wait for me to wash it off now, lol.

As for the baby food, I get ... I think its Earthland's Best Organic chicken and rice. The only stuff in there is chicken, squash, and rice. Granted, squash and rice isn't in his natural diet, but I can't imagine either of them would hurt his digestion, especially in the small amount he would be eating.

Do be careful with any sort of internal heating - they are pretty inactive so could be prone to burning.
Have seen horrific pictures of tree frogs burned from basking too near heat lamps in vivs

I'll look for the baby food next time I am at the store. LOL, sounds pretty healthy to me.

I am not using any kind of heat rock, or basking lamp. I am using a stick-on-the-side UTH that I got from josh's frogs. There isn't any risk in that, is there?

I am going to order Phoenix worms from Josh's Frogs. You can actually order them with priority shipping and it only cost about $7.63 for shipping! They can ship as dry goods with anything else you order (assuming you order strictly dry goods)! I am so happy I am not going to have to pay $$$$ just for shipping 1 item! I can pay $ and get lots of items!

I ♥ Josh's Frogs!!
