Frog not eating much

[demeteraurion]

So I've had my albino pac for almost a month now and he's ate maybe 5 crickets. I know they are supposed to eat like 2 or 3 crickets a day but mine just doesn't. He even ate a cricket that was almost dead sitting next to him...

Anyways I'm out of crickets and plan on getting something like roaches or earthworms? Any suggestions?

It sounds to me like you're not keeping his conditions right. It could be that he hasn't eaten in so long that he is now sick. You need to make sure you can provide a stable environment with a good level of humidity and a reliable temperature. That means somewhere in the mid 70s to mid 80s F (mid to late 20s Celsius) and a humidity level of at least 70%. I'm worried for your frog.

He has a 40w red heating bulb. it is also plenty humid for him. He stays on the cool side of tank usually. I have a small heating mat but i'm not using it because I heard they could burrow down and burn themselves, and putting it on the side really doesn't do anything.

I would remove the heat bulb for a start and stick with the heat mat. Albinos have very sensitive skin. Has john says im also worried for your frog he/she is also not eating enough which automatically means to me somethings wrong. I have 2cm horned frogs that get 6 2nd star crixs and two chopped earthworms a day.

hope he/she improves.

Ok should I put it on the bottom of one side, with the water dish?

I have my heat mat on one side and the water dish on the opposite side.
You may want to try him with different livefoods i would deffinately go with earthworms and roaches has horned frogs and similar species find these hard to resist. I have a horned frog now as we speak that would rather starve than eat crixs. he wont touch them.

hope this helps
