    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.

    I am in a situation similar to houseb's. I've had my Pacman Frog for two or three weeks, but I don't see any poop in his terrarium! His temperature and humidity levels remain in the ideal ranges throughout the day, he eats 3 medium crickets daily, and he's very active for a Pacman Frog. I had been feeding him mealworms daily, but I stopped that today after reading they should be a monthly treat. I don't think he's compacted either, his body looks normal and his behavior is perfectly fine.

    Am I missing something? He moved from his usual hideout spot earlier this morning, but I checked the old hole and there was nothing. I left for work and when I got back, he had returned to his old spot. Perhaps his feces have been mixing with the Eco Earth substrate I use? I don't know why I haven't seen any, but any insight would be welcomed.

    Also, should feces be removed daily? I've been told it can be a monthly chore. Another thing, is it safe to clean my frog's terrarium with tap water? For example, hosing it off in the bath tub? Note: This is my first time owning an animal that wasn't a dog or cat, so I apologize for all the questions.

    Remove any feces you see and change out substrate monthly.

    If you're worried about frogs not pooping try soaking them in water for 10-15 minutes.
