Hello! I got my first pacman frog at the midwest reptile expo this past sunday. Me and my friends stopped at a pet smart on the way home, where i got coconut fiber and moss and a tank and all that jazz.
once i got home and let the coconut fiber stuff soak in water like it said, i got my little guy all set up in his tank. I've got a little thing in there that measures temp and humidity, and an infrared heat lamp. he's set up by my desk so I can easily keep an eye on those and turn the lamp on/off or spritz his enclosure with water when needed. However, since bringing him home, I haven't been able to get him to eat anything. i started with some freeze dried mealworms, and tried to get him to eat those once a day, every evening so far. Last night my dad told me we have some live nightcrawlers he uses for fishing, so i cut little pieces off the end of one and tried to get him to eat those, but still no luck. I've tried just holding the food in front of him, putting it on the ground in front of him, prodding him with it, rubbing it on his little chin to try to get him to at least bite it out of annoyance, but nothing. so far, the only time he's even reacted is when i accidentally dropped the food and it rolled past him down a hiding spot log. other than that, either no reaction or just backing off. I also have left the dried mealworms in his enclosure after failed feeding attempts, but he doesn't seem to have touched them. please help
