^^ says you shouldn't feed them mealworms. I don't know if dried mealworms shells are softer or not

Whats its cage like? What kind of substrate? Are you keeping it humid and warm?

I might try pinkies again, some animals become picky and won't eat dead food.

Do you have a UVA/UVB fluorescent bulb. I had the same situation with my baby Pacman, and once I added a fluroescent he finished almost all the crickets I had.

It didn't eat mealworms for more than a few days, tried wax worms early on but it just shook his head violently at them too.

Cage is 10 gal aquarium, substrate is coconut shell fiber w/ a little moss on top, 75-80 degrees during the day, about 70 degrees at night, around 80% humidity.

He ate one pinky, I threw away 4 because I got tried of rewarming them and re-refrigerating them, have 1 frozen pinky left so I'll try it again. He still won't touch the live crickets.

I'll check when I get home, but I believe I have the right bulbs. Thanks for the reply and the links...I'll read them as soon as I post this.

edit: Last link really helps. Thanks, Supmet.

Pacman frogs are cool, but I've heard they can be stubborn. I've never owned one, but when I was younger I kept a few different toads and frogs at various points. I was under the impression that no frog would take dead or processed food. Anyway, good luck.
