It may be hard to tell if he is growing, especially if you check on him everyday. Consider using a gram scale to chart his growth. I've never raised a pacman from infancy so perhaps someone else could chime in on the feeding schedule.

Well if you want to see some exponental growth try feeding him about 6 crickets every other day. Just drop them in...and let him go at them...chances are they will be gone within minutes. Also try feeding him baby pinky mice....I have noticed extreme growth with a diet of both crickets and mice.

Fish will also give a large boost in growth as the calcium levels are very favorable.

if hes the size of a half dollar will they sell pinkies small enough for him to eat?

Ask to see them....if you get freshly born pinkies he should beable to eat them...use you best judgement...and ask to see small ones. Pacmans can eat object surpisly big! But use your best judgement.
