Pacman feeding Help

FroggyToads Sep 19, 2004 09:56 PM

I have a Pacman frog about a year old. Since I've had him his has given the term voracious a new meaning. He will chase and eat whatever I give him. Last two weeks he won't touch anything

Help Please

What is the temperature inside the tank? When was the last last time you changed the substrate? What substrate is he on? Could he easily ingest it? What is he eating now?

Answers to the questions above will help us help you

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I lost my internet connection. I have the tank usually around 80. I mist heavily once a day. I use Spaghm moss as a substrate. He always has water. I change his moss once a week. All through the week I do spot cleanings where needed. Usually he eats about once a week. I tried every other day then every three days. I ended up taking alot of stuff back because he just had no intrest. When Saturday (feeding Day) Comes he will eat anything. I usually feed him with tongs. Feeder fish, crickets, pinkies roaches fingers. I mean anything. Now for almost two weeks he won't eat. I have heard that they can go long times witout eating. I am just worried. My wife and I love him. We really want to get other frogs too. We had already picked out a White's Tree frog and a tank.

Thanks

Ok, I would not worry about it. I know that's hard, but just try. Until yesterday my frog had not eaten anything in 7.5 weeks. I was terrified he was dying but then BOOM out of the clear blue sky he ate a mouse.

Don't sweat it
