She gained 3.5 ounces in 2 weeks and I have no idea how. She didn’t move for a long time but she recently started moving around a lot going in different holes she made but she somehow gained weight even after refusing to eat anything I offer, I offered pinkies but she shakes her head. Indirect sunlight and has a heat mat on a thermostat set to 82. She is in a 20 gal long bioactive with lots of foliage and hides and plants. She stopped eating about two months ago and hasn’t pooped, I’ve given her baths etc trying to get her to go.
Once the first roach is in your frogs mouth should stay open for a few seconds and if you're quick enough the next roach should be easier to pop in.I got my baby Pac-Man frog on March 24 of this year and she was a ferocious eater I fed her earth worms, crickets, Dubai roaches and super worms.
The easiest thing to do this with is a roach as you can slip the side of the shell into your frogs mouth easier. If that is unsuccessful you're unfortunately going to have to force feed your frog. Leave and come back within 10 to 15 minutes. If making the above changes do not work within a week or two I would remove the frog, pop it into a container with a locust or two. 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. Pacman froq quit wating skin#
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. Reassuringly, amphibians and reptiles can go for a long time without eating so dont panic My advice. If their environment grows to dry for their liking, they simply bury themselves and wait for rain to come wet the place up a bet. They spend the vast majority of their time hiding beneath the damp leaf litter of dense forests and rainforests. Do not feed them anything you catch in the wild. Check the vivs temp, too hot or cold can cause stress. These frogs thrive in warm, humid, environments. Then in September, she refused to eat so we offered her a pinkie mouse. Pacman Frogs eat mostly insects but are capable of eating small mice and feeder fish. 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. I have a Pacman frog, named Kiwi, who is about a year old.
