I'm being told to not worry about it but I am...

Last month I thought I wouldn't have to worry about my frog not eating (the longest he's gone is 4 days). But at the early part of August Octavian went from eating 2-3 crickets a night to 1 then stopping completely. I switched him to Meal Worms and Wax Worms, he ate them for a week then ate maybe 3 crickets then stopped eating completely. It's been 5 or 6 days (August 14 or 15) since my frog ate anything. He has pooped, the last one looked healthy, and he was a bit active August 18th, was hopping all over the place and I caught him on his back again (he near flipped over again so I'm thinking he accidentally flipped over from clumsiness). I've been told by other Pacman owners (both new and experienced) to not worry about it but honestly, being me, I am having a hard time in doing that. Yesterday he looked right lethargic, shriveled up, eyes closed (they aren't cloudy but they were closed) and looking a bit under the weather (having a bad frog day perhaps?), today he looked a bit better. His temperature is nearly the same (78-82 degrees), Humidity Gauge reads at almost 80. He's about 2 inches both width and length. Usually his temperatures are in the 80-84 (lit up sometimes to the 86 degree mark), could that be the reason why he's stopped eating? I did observe him today, found nothing on his legs (he hopped healthy from me, no sight of red leg).

I would try to keep him in the 80s. Have you tried him on night crawlers?

I'm sorry that Octavian is still flipping over and not eating. Its hard not to worry about these guys. I've been nursing Grif back to health since he stopped eating a month and a half ago. He is doing a lot better and yet I still worry. I wish I knew more about Pacmans and well all frogs. I hope someone on here can help. Listening to John is a very good idea. He seems to know a lot and claimes to be no expert, but I think he's almost there. Good luck

No, I haven't. At this time I'm not sure if he'd eat them. I've put food right up to his mouth and he just ignores it. Even if it is super wiggly and moving. Right now he's in the 82-86 degree mark (blue on 82, reddish orange on 84 and brown on 86)

I would recommend getting a digital thermometer in there. It is much more accurate than those sticker thermometers.

I gave him a soak tonight, took him out when he started hopping around in the bowl. He's been a bit more active afterwards than the last few days. I did notice that when he was in the water that he seemed to be shedding. Afterwards I wetted his substrate, thinking that maybe it was too dry. Could he of been in estivation? I do remember last night walking up to him and petting him, he acted like he was in a deep sleep.

Do you dust his food? His back legs looks a little strange but I'm no expert.
