MY PACMAN WONT'T EAT PLEASE HELP!

CokeOfMan Sep 11, 2003 01:05 AM

Sorry for writing the Topic in BIG, but I really need help.
Yesterday I tried feeding my Pacman again, this time with earthworms. I turned the lights out an hour before so he would come out of his soil.
He didn't want to eat then either.
I have him on un fertilized soil and it's quite damp. I don't know the procentage of the humidity, cause I have nothing that mesures it.
The temprature is about 26-28 C and it may somtimes during the day reise to 30, but the I usually manage to lower it. Sorry fro writing in Celcius, thats cause I don't know the exact Farenheit temprature. I also keep him in a 20 gallon tank(I'll post pics of it later)
I don't know if I might be stressing him to much, I dug him up abit 2 days ago, I thought it was ok.

Anyway, I had him for about 3 days, I got him on monday. He still hasn't eaten.

Does anyone have any good tips, what I can do to make him eat? I thought that I had been readeing up quite well on Pacmans, but I don't know what to do now. Please answer if you can!

Thanks in Advance

Agreed. Some of mine didn't eat for a month after getting them. Just give it time and stop for a while. You only stress it more everytime you disturb it. Andy
