    Default Frog poops

    Okay so now that I've had my ornate for a couple of months (it took forever to get him to eat) and he's settled in, how do I find his poop? I switch his pool water out every other day, and I've gone through the bedding (coco fiber), but I can't seem to find any poop anywhere. He is in a fairly large enclosure (exo terra 18x18x18) and he's about 2 inches in diameter. He's bright and alert, and moves around in his tank a lot (well a lot of a pacman frog). Any ideas? Thanks for any help or advice.

    That's strange. Pacman poop is pretty large. They look like little logs. Maybe its getting mixed in with the soil as he buries himself. Mine would poop in the water or right after he got out. My frog was about two inches and his poop was the thickness of my pinkie finger.

    How long has it been since he started eating? Pacman poop is really hard to miss, like, it's so large it often doesn't look like it could've come out of the frog. lol, if you're curious to know what it looks like, just search for it on youtube. You'll never be able to delete those videos from your mind.

    Generally mine shift position when they have "unloaded" so if your pacman changes position you'll prob find some in the hole they have just vacated

    well he's only been eating consistently for about 2 weeks now. He did poop once when I first got him, but then he went on a pretty lengthy hunger strike. He actually just shifted out of his most recent hiding spot, so I'll have a look there today when I change his water. Thanks for all the replies.....I never thought I'd feel so much anticipation looking for a poop lol.

    Mine does as Berksmike's does. If he goes in his hole he changes to a new location in the tank and burrows. You could try soaking your frog in luke warm water. This often helps pacmans poop. If your pac isn't very agressive you can also very gently feel the sides of its belly. A small hard spot usually indicates that there is poop in their intestines. The farther back it is the closer it is to coming out. Atleast that's how it works with my pac Grif. You can also gently massage the spot while your frog is soaking and this can help the frog pass the poop. I do this for Grif when his behavior indicates he needs to go.

    Lump only poops once every 2 weeks, and whenever I see him in a new spot there's usually a present left behind in the old one.
