    I'm sure more people can chime in as I have never seen impaction before, but that's what it sounds like to me. With the bloat and firmer on one side, sounds like a classic case. I don't know how to solve it though, so hopefully someone else will help.

    Thanks!

    Yes, it seems like something has gotten stuck but I really can't think what it could be, he's never been on moss and hasn't had a mouse for a month. His tank is always at 70-80% humidity and misted regularly.

    Try adding some honey to the water.

    If that doesn't work, hopefully someone else will pop on and give another suggestion.

    Definitely sounds like impaction. If he's acting lethargic and all, I'd stop offering him food for awhile. This sounds odd, but try massaging the frog's backside while it's in the warm water soak. I've seen this work on impacted WTFs before, so idk why it wouldn't work for a pacman.

    Thanks!

    I tried two honey soaks yesterday and massaged the lump, it feels a lot softer now but still no movement. He doesn't seem so sleepy now though which I guess is a good sign?
