 CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

I just got a baby pacman frog he is little but i have not seen him eat. I tried to put him in a separate cage with nothing in it but a couple crickets and he still did not eat. So my boyfriends friend who has one but his is big. he told me to use tweezers and try to put it in his face. i tried once he just moved away from it. I did not try it again because i felt like i was being mean to it. So if anyone can help please. What else can i try?

often times pacmens will just sit and wait to eat. i’ve only seen mine eat once, i always just put about 5 crickets in his tank every night and when i wake up in the morning there all gone.

Most herps I’ve owned don’t like being moved from their cage to eat. Some people have success with it but I haven’t. I got my pacman to eat by using tweezers and putting it in front of his mouth. :)

Oh and I read your other post. If he’s been moved to a bigger tank than he was at in the pet store, it will take him awhile to get used to the bigger cage also.

Let him aclimate. He will not eat much until he is comfortable. That might take 3-4 days, maybe more. Just leave him alone for now. Offer food, but if he doesn’t eat it take it out in the morning. Don’t watch him eat for now, just put it in at night and walk away. Toss in a carrot for the crickets to much on.
