Hi everyone,
I recently aquired a large pacman frog, I believe it is an ornate? I'm not really sure.
When I got him he was in a 5g tank with a layer of aquarium pebbles, and about 2" of stagnant water. It's been awhile, but i used to have a pacman frog and new this set up wasn't appropirate. I moved him over to a medium/large KK (which is, admittedly, a touch to small. I would have used the tank but it was cracked. But it doesn't seem to bother him much), and filled it with 2-3" of moist coco fiber for him to dig around in, and a water dish large enough for him to soak in.
I've had him for almost 2 weeks now, and he's only eaten once...
My last pacman frog was a garbage disposal on legs, so I find this rather baffling. The only thing he's eaten was red worm I threw in his general direction. I have since tried chucking other food items near him to no affect.
I have tried crickets, mealworms, earthworms, red worms, and pinky mice. I've attempted offering when he's out and about, leaving them in over night, putting him in a different container to feed, and nothing...
The only thing I wonder is...perhaps he is to cold?
I was always led to believe pacmans did fine at room tempature, my reptile room stays pretty much constant 76F, his cage because of the moisture is likely a little cooler, around 73-74F if I remember correctly. Perhaps he is not warm enough?
