is a shallow gravel and water habitat ok to keep my pacman in? i tired of cleaning coconut husk everyday.
No, it isn't really good for your Pacman Frog to stay wet all the time. Plus, your Pacman Frog will be really sad if it isn't able to burrow. It just goes against insticts in my opinion.
thank you sir, well i think theres something wrong with my frog. it hasnt burrowed since the first week i got her (about three months ago), and has not ate in about a week and a half. Any help with that?
I suspect perhaps the temperture is too low? Pacman Frog prefer a temp of 80-85*F in the daytime, and prefer 70-75*F at night.
You see, Pacman Frogs burrow to keep cool. Down below the substrate is much cooler than above. If it is cold, they often will not burrow. Also, Pacman Frogs are cold-blooded. This means that they function based on the tempreture of the air around them. If your setup is too cold, then they will not have the metabolism to properly diegest the food (which could cause problems), so instictively, they avoid eating when it is colder.
You may want to check your tempretures in the setup, or buy a thermometer if you don't already have one. That may not be what it is, but from the description you gave, it sounds somewhat likely.
I hope this helped, and I really hope your Pacman Frog starts eating again!
