If not you will need to order it from the internet.

    I can not stress enough that you need to research your pet before you get it. You should always provide the correct and proper conditions for them to live long healthy lives. It is not entirely your fault, but this happens way too much.

    Let Johnny888. Give you the number for his Vet. A regular Vet will not know anything about Amphibians.

    Do not lose hope. You must keep your wits about you so that you can care for him and try to save him. So stop saying that he will die and bringing yourself down. Fallow the advice given. Feed him earthworms and soak him in a warm De-Chlorinated water bath with 4 drops of honey disolved in the water. Chlorine is poison to reptiles and amphibians. He was not an expert or he would have known that the chlorine would kill your iguana. It will also kill your frog. They must have water that is treated with a de-chlorinating agent or use bottled natural spring water.

    Try the warm honey bath and buy some earthworms for him. Try and find some Eco Earth substrate to place in his keeper. The substrate must be moist, but not muddy.

    Do not lose hope and do your best to care for him.

    Keep us posted on his condition.

    PS) It is normal for them to poop only every 3 to 5 days. They do not poop everyday.

    What do you mean you release him in your room? Peel the mealworms? If you absolutely have to catch wild earthworms to feed him just make sure there are no chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides sprayed in the area you catch them from. Rinse them off with de-chlorinated water before feeding them to him.

    You didn't answer my questions.

    He may poop after a couple days or so. Are you going to try the honey water bath I suggested? Will your parents allow that?

    Grif, I think we are dealing with a kid here. I already dropped the names through his pm two of our local vets dealing with exotic pets.

    @jerome:It seems to me that you are not reading all the suggestions being advised to alleviate the current medical condition of your pacman.
