I've had a pacman frog for a couple of months and suddenly i had to move to my older siblings due to family issues, i live in the basement and it's pretty cold down here, about 3/4 weeks ago my pacman wasn't interested in eating anymore and than a week ago he buried himself and i haven't seen him until i decided to see if he's still alive and he is though his color changed completely, instead of green his whole body is more yellow then green :/ is he sick? the temperature is 60 degrees while the humidity is 70-80% he doesn't seem to have lost any weight, i've been concerned about him for weeks, thank you
It's temperature-related. That is really cool for a frog. Until the temperature is raised, the frog is probably not going to eat and will likely stay buried. I would suggest a heating pad on the side and maybe a light if you don't already have one. It sounds like your frog is healthy otherwise (the color change is also temperature-related), so if you can just raise that temperature, he should be just fine.

Temperature is absolutely the problem. 60 degrees is wayyyyyyyy too cold, nighttime temperatures shoudlnt even drop below 70. Try using a under the tank heater or a simple 25w household lightbulb. I guarantee you his appetite will return back to normal if the temperatures goes to about 80-85 degrees
Ornates can take cold much better then cranwallii. If its cranwallii you need to warm it immediately, they are from a much warmer region in south america.
