5/18/2023 0 Comments Pacman froq quit eating![]() ![]() What concerns me is how long your frog has not been eating for. Humans can be intimidating for smaller creatures so you may accidentally be stressing your frog out around feeding times. Ensure you're not being overbearing on your frog.The movement may encourage your frog to eat. ![]() Try leaving the live "prey" in the terrarium loose instead of using tongs.3 inches of substrate is recommended for juveniles so they feel safe and can burrow.If your tank is quite clear and open, cover the sides as they're used to being in a tropical environment too much light can stress them out. ![]() Ensure your tank is moist as they need this for shedding and can also prolong estivation if their skin is too dry.If you have a UVB light it should only be on for 12 hours maximum. Pacman frogs should be kept between 25 - 31 ☌ (77 - 88 It sounds like your frog is in estivationĪs you've not provided an image yet or any specific tank information, I'll give an answer with general information on how your tank should be set up: She hasn't grown in ages and I'm getting worried. We have tried everything: wax worms, Dubia roaches, crickets, different size locusts but she won't eat anything. She ate it straight away this continued till November and then she stopped eating completely. We would try her on locusts again and again but she wouldn't eat them, so we offered her another pinkie. Then in September, she refused to eat so we offered her a pinkie mouse. I tried so hard to get her back onto a routine of eating 3-4 locusts 2 times a week (what she was eating before) but she would only eat 3 a week. They gave her a fluffy which was too big for her and it completely messed up her routine. We think this is due to being looked after by relatives who didn't really know what to do even though I gave them care guides and lots of help. When we got her she was eating fine and growing but since August her eating pattern has been on and off. ![]() Please come back with any further questions so we may help you.I have a Pacman frog, named Kiwi, who is about a year old. Go to the pacman/ceratophrys care sheet on the very front page of the forum here. Your geckos water should be given dechlorinated too. It's not good for either of them to be housed together. They have different body fluids that can make each other sick. The gecko will stress the frog and could eventually become a nice meal to him. You absolutely must dechlorinate all water used for him, including misting water, water bowl, and the water used to moisten substrate. This allows them to regulate their own temps a bit by moving to the side they choose. You should have a warm side to the tank and a cooler side for the water bowl. An under tank heater can, however, be used on the side of his tank. Be super careful when removing it because if any of the heat coils break from inside, it becomes a fire risk and you willl have to discard it. They love to burrow and have been know to burrow down and accidently burn themselves. Take the under tank heater off the bottom of the tank. They need to live within the proper temperature readings and humidity levels or they will become stressed, stop eating, sick, or worse. You need thermometer and hygrometer gauges inside the tank at about an inch or so above the substrate level (down where they live). You need to get accurate temperature readings and humidity. ![]()
