6.plantation soil(I was using moss but I removed when I heard that it may cause and impaction)
7.an artificial plant( Pet Supermarket )
8.crickets,waxworms,mealworms
9.reptivite , I cant answer that cuz he is not eating at all!
10.no lighting , he is an albino
11.a heating pad , sticked to the right side of the terrarium
12.I don't know , maybe yesterday cuz I cant find the second crickets but maybe it is somewhere hidden

19.Very often cuz I have to check if he is ok
20.high traffic area.
21.I change the water in his water dish every other day and I mist his enclosure 2 times a day.

14*


The frog may looks chubby in this picture but when I woke up today I found a big poop(I think that the poop looks like a cricket , (the big one, remember?)I can almost see the feathers and the head of the cricket) and the frog was very skinny!
I tried shaking the food in front of his mouth , but nothing, he ignores it.
Help please!
Thank you!

Foodwise, stay off the mealworms. They are hard to digest, and they carry minimal nutritional content. Stick to dusted crickets and dusted dew worms (nightcrawlers). Waxworms are fatty and should only be offered as treats. I use Herptivite and RepCal on my frog's food (RepCal every other day, Herptivite once a week). I'm not sure if you need another calcium supplement to go with your vitamin supplement since Reptivite offers D3 but I would double check with another board member. Feed your Pacman appropriately sized food items. You said you fed the frog a very large cricket which may have led to a longer digestion period, thus no pooping. Try feeding at night, they have a much better feeding response (though they will readily take anything throughout the day).

You mentioned you hold your frog often. I'd suggest to leave him completely alone until his eating habits have improved and until you start seeing growth development. I understand you have nothing but good intent but you may be causing more harm than good. The frog has been in your care for under a week, which means the frog will still be acclimating to his new surroundings. Leave him be and let his stress levels die down (change water and spot pick poops only). Try moving his cage into a lower traffic area of your house/apartment.

You should de-chlorinate the water you use for misting, just like you do for soaking. Another option is to mist with distilled water as this will keep mineral residue off your glass (DO NOT USE DISTILLED WATER FOR SOAKING PURPOSES).

That heating pad on the right side of your terrarium (If I can see the picture correctly), appears to be really big. Maybe another board member can chime in but I'd suggest something a little smaller. Make sure it's plugged into a thermostat (temps fluctuate).

Other than that, your answers to the other questions seem well in the range of the husbandry that is required for a healthy happy frog.

Chubby seems to have you covered.

I will also suggest as Chubby has that you get a smaller UTH(heat pad) to place on the side. A 6 inch x 8 inch heat pad would be better. You need to also be sure that you are providing a 12 hour day/night cycle for the frog. This can be acheived by keeping the frog in a room that is well lit by natural light, but keep the enclosure away from windows.

Offer smaller prey. Medium crickets should be fine. Earthworms are an excellent food as well.

It seems like your temps are still too low. The ideal temp range for pacs is a daytime range of 80-82 Farenheit (26-28 C) and a nighttime range of 75-80 Farenheit (24-26). The temps on his low end are getting down below 70 Farenheit, which is low enough to make them not eat. You can use a red heat bulb for albinos, provided it is not more than 40 watts. And the red bulbs can be left on day and night, since most reptiles and amphibians can't see red light and it won't affect their day/night cycle.
