i cought a crawl dad or "cray fis" the other day and is it ok for my froggy to eat it? i cant get him to eat night crawlers or crickets onily mice and fish, witch i have read that feeding them this on a regular basis is bad for them. so what can i do?
also i haven saw my froggy defficate for a week, is this normal or what can i try to do for him?
he is a verry beautiful albino male mesuring about 3-3 1/2 inches round its the first packman i have ever owned
he chirps sometimes at night and sits in his watter bowl, every thing seems to be ok with him
but i just had a couple questions if u have anytype of instant messanger feel free to instant message me my SN is Bleddingsorrow
and if u want any pics e-mail me at mandersonqs9000@aol.com

Don't feed it a crayfish. They are loaded with all sorts of parasites and what not. They call them mud bugs for a reason. Try mealworms, nightcrawlers, wax worms, grasshoppers, any other inverts. Mice and fish are an extremely poor diet, which will lead to the early death of your frog. Andy

^not ment twards anyone

It shouldn't be that hard to get it to eat nightcrawlers. Mine ignored them at first, until I learned that you have to make the worm move yourself, not rely on it to move for you. Tons work well for this. if ya just plop the worm in the tank, it either burrows under your frog or just sits there. If you wiggle it in front of the frog, it should eat, if hungry.

I'd recommend a substrate change to EcoEart/Bed-a-Beast instead of gravel as gravel can lead to impaction of your frog.
It's normal for pacmen to not poop for weeks at a time, no worries there.
How often are you feeding him? Once a week is plenty for adult pacman frogs.
