    No live plants, only plastic one's.
    Substrate is blond peat without fertilizers mixed with coco fiber.

    Next time I change the substrate, I will change to only coco fiber to see if it improves...

    She seem healthy and even looks healthy. Judging by how she was eating the mouse her activity seem good. Adults slow down in their appetite. Grif doesn't eat nearly as much as she used to, but it. Is normal.

    I really hope the leg doesn't get. Worse. Does she eat night crawlers?

    Yes, I think the leg gets worst...
    I am really curious what can occur such a thing...

    Neither nightcrawlers nor roaches...I have the most selective pacman of the world...

    PS : do you confirm it's a female ?

    I don't think she is the most selective. There was someone on here who's Pac would eat nothing but crickets and that's it. So you're not doing so bad with her. How big is she SVL? If you've had her over a year and she hasn't. Called(croaked) and the thumbs lack the nuptual pads(dark spots on the inside of each thumb) then she is definetly female. If you go on YouTube and play Pacman mating calls and your frog does not respond back to the calls then also indicates female.

    Males usually top out at 3" to 3.5" SVL. Females top out at 4.25 to 5" SVL.

    Thanks

    Picture from this morning :



    I changed the substrate yesterday

    The situation is stable :
    - Still sheds its skin often, 2 times a week (Instead of everyday 2 weeks ago).
    - Eats, not gluttonous, but eats. Maybe an ambientair humidity level problem, as for Graboune (Even if teh substrate is moist)
    - The leg is still moving very bad. She will never recover it I think
