HELP Pac-man frog is not eating

[Sammag]

I would of normally put this in the amphibians/frog section but since my concern is related to feeding and more people look at this section of the forum than the prior I figured I might as well put it her.


Anyway it has been about a month since my pac-man has excepted any food stuff ranging from crickets,, mice, mealworms, waxworms, superworms.

He is still relaviely small and his leg movements are pretty weak. There are no visible signs of weightloss

What should I Do??

Pacman frogs can go pretty long with out eating. I do not know how to help him eat, but make sure you coat his food with calcium if his leg movements are weak.

annoy your frog till he opens his mouth then throw something in there(with twezzers) it should not spit it out

How do you reccomend I "annoy it"

And thats one of the things that shocks me for some reason i supplement all his foods with calcium and he still has weak leg movements

Then again he hasnt eaten in a month so it would make sense

I had a Pac-Man frog before and he stopped eating because his belly was full of gravel. I couldn't save him. I was young then, and didn't have the money to pay a vet. I hope you can save it. A month is a long time without a meal. Good luck.

I have actually never seen my pac man scream

The good thing about all this is that i know its not impaction cus i have always had it on coco fiber and so did the pet store i bought it from about 7 months ago

He could be impacted. It's common for pacs.

Take him to a vet - they won't charge you too much - it's just a simple X-Ray.

If he's impacted - surgery or death.

My friend had an enormously obese pac-man frog... He only fed it once per month... So yours might be ok.

Hey good news guys my pac man just ate a cricket.

What I did wus put it in front f his mouth with tweezers 4 bout 10 minutes and he finally opened his mouth and ate it

Hopefully he will continue eating

Thanks for all the help and i am so relieved he is not impacted
