I've never had a pacman before, but I got one a few weeks ago, and he ate fine for a while, but the last 4-5 days he has stayed buried so today I found him and he was all dry and didn't move so I thought he was dead. Then I noticed he was twitching just a little so I sprayed him and put in his water dish and he perked up a little but still doesn't look too hot.

For some info about my setup, I have the eco-friendly substrate recommended by the pet store I bought him from, I mist 3-4 times per day, I have a water dish that is always full, I have crickets for him to eat in the tank at all times, I use a small under tank heater, and sometimes a heat lamp too if the apartment is cool. I am really not sure what is wrong, is he hibernating or molting, or is it something worse??

What temperature and humidity level do you keep him in? Those are important factors that affect a pacman's appetite. Temps should be 85 deg F and humidity around 80 percent. Definitely keep the frog on a cocofiber (those expandable bricks) substrate, as other types of substrate can cause impaction.

The substrate should be moist at all times. Just pour some dechlorinated water in there so it'll be damp. It's a bad idea to have crickets in there with him at all times. Hungry crickets will harass and even chew on the animals they were mean to be fed to.
