At first he was eating alot, not a single cricket went bye without him eating it. but after i moved him into a bigger tank (just cause i had it) he kinda quit eating he ate one big cricket and never ate since... that was 2 days ago. The tank is pretty big its a 25 gallon tank but i put a divider in it to make it smaller. Also do i need to be giving the crickets vitamins because the store gives them vitamins all the time so im not to sure if i will over do it. please if you have any advice on what i should do about him eating please help me, im open for all suggestions.

Thanks
Yes you need to gut load the crickets, but you can also buy reptile/amphibian multivitamin and calcium supplements. Just lightly dust the crickets with a multivitamin once a week and dust twice a week with a calcium powder that contains Vitamin D3.

Moving him to a larger tank JUST because you have it laying around is what stopped him from eating. He is stressed and now has to readjust to a new home once again. Also a 25 gallon tank is too large. An adult Pacman can live its whole life in a 10 gallon tank. Babies and juveniles should be kept in smaller enclosures until they are large enough for a bigger tank. Medium and large critter keepers are perfect for keeping babies and juveniles because they don't need much space and their food doesn't have to be chased all over the place. Easy access to their food is very important. I would set his old home back up exactly the way it was before you moved him and put him back. Let him be for a day and then offer food once again.

Pacman Frogs do not like change and become stressed very easily. They are extremely sensitive to changes in their environment whether it be consistant climate or a plant out of place that they themselves didn't move. You have to be careful when changing their environment. Do small subtle changes or make the new home look almost identified to the old one so they feel secure and in a place they know. Cover 3 sides of the enclosure for security as well so the frog doesn't feel exposed.
