New pacman frog not eating !

[DVirginiana]

That's normal; sometimes they go a week or two without eating. However, they also won't eat if something is stressing them out or if their environment isn't right. What temp/humidity/substrate are you using? It's always good to make sure that everything else is right so your frog can adjust to his new home quicker

Why would you want to endanger your frog by giving it a mouse? If it's a baby, you don't give it anything much bigger than the crickets. If the other frog is wild caught, don't feed it to your pacman. From the pictures I've seen in your album, he's way too small to have such big prey. Worms are much more fun to watch them eat, but I'm partial to mice as I view them as pets. You have to be very careful when feeding mice, you can't be like the videos of the stupid people on youtube. You'll kill your frog that way. You didn't get this frog just to watch it eat big prey did you? I have to ask...you can't feed mice to an adult only frog very often because it'll cause them to get way too fat and can cause internal injuries.

ok thanks alot and the tree frog is tiny like have the size of the pacman frog and it is wild caught so i should take it out and set it free,and for the littel pacman not even a pinky mouse is good for them!?

I wouldn't try even a little new born mouse until he gets bigger, so you can be sure he's healthy and if anything goes wrong you can be sure it wasn't because you tried bigger prey items too early. the wild caught frog is probably carrying the chytrid fungus, which is the leading cause in the frog epidemic right now. It can also be carrying parasites that'll transfer to your frog if he eats it. Keep an eye on it for dark shedding.
