Hey, I'm actually posting this because I haven't been able to find help yet and need it as soon as possible. I recently purchased a pacman frog andfor the first few weeks, things wer going ok. I researched alot of different sites for taking care of one and lsitened to the advice given from the petshop i acquired it from. For some time now, the frog (Jaba is his name) has been refusing anything I feed it or offer it. I was told he eats fuzzies (or pinkies), and crickets. I was also told that his habitat should be kept at 60-80, which it has been. He has not been very active at all and it's been six days since it has last eaten. I have tried calling any local veteranarian I could find, but none of them seem to treat this type of frog (or any frog). If anyone knows of something I could give it or maybe point out something i'm doing wrong, i'd really appreciate it. thanks in advance. John

How large is the frog? And how often was it feeding before?
From my experience, sometimes pacmans won't eat until it gets dark. Sometimes if leave a few crickets in over night, then the frog might eat them. Could always try other food items.
Like feeder guppies, live bearers, goldfish (commets), red wigglers, night crawlers, or roaches.
Temperatures are best kept between 78-85 degrees during the day, with a drop too 70-75 degrees at night.
Sometimes less sustrate is better. Just enough so the frog can't bury itself all the way, then it might be more inclined to come out and grab a bug or two. Even putting a small fake plant or two can make the frog feel more secure.

I could offer better advice if you could be a little more specific about it's habitat? Like what kind of substrate is in it's cage, an how much of it; The humitity, exact temperature in the cage, water? (dechlorinated, distilled) hides, etc...

when my fantasy frog was eating he was doing it nocturnaly. I would put the crickets in and they would be gone the next morning.
