I have several breeds frogs which include 3 Mantellas, 2 Emerald Greens, 4 Whites, 1 Red-Eyed, 1 Tiger-Legged Monkey, 4 common Green Tree Frogs and 1 Pacman. Other than the Pacman, I've had most of my frogs for about 3 yrs.
I bought the Albino Pacman in Feb this year. He or she was about the size of a quarter. In the 5 months I've had it, it has grown to about 3 inches across. It had an incredible appetite until a month ago. It stopped eating completely. I've read they hibernate. His behavior consists of sitting and not moving for a few days, then moving around the tank to burying himself for several days. So I'm not sure if this is really hibernating. The tank stays around 80 degrees during the day and about 75 at night. The frog is not losing body mass, but I'm a little concerned. It is still a fairly young frog and I feel it should be eating.
Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks in advance.

When I first got my pacman frog it (not sure what sex) went into hibernation right away. They wont eat during this stage so it could
be doing this for you. Is the skin a different plastic like look? This is a sure sign of hibernation. I wouldn't worry as long as the body mass isn't being lost. These frogs can go without food for a month and usually be fine, but I wouldn't try.

Thanks for your response. You were right...after close to a month, my Pacman emerged from "seclusion". It has been particularly hot here this summer, but when the weather cooled for a day or so, the frog came out of its hole. The frog is actually larger than when it began the hibernation. It has been acting fairly normal since. When it first "awoke", it ate about 10 large crickets. Since, then, it has settle into a less voracious eating cycle. It eats every couple of days, and then only 2 or 3 large crickets or a couple of goldfish. I still don't know the sex of this creature, but I hope it's a male..I would like to hear his call.
