Pacman Frog

Question
Hello,

I'm writing in regards to the care of my new Pacman frog I've had for just about two weeks now. I put a couple crickets in his cage just over a week ago and he ate one but not the other. Now it seems he's hunkered down underneath his hide log and his skin looks hard and a bit dry. I keep his cage well misted, and his substrate is similar to eco earth and has moss mixed in to keep that moisture in there. There is an under tank heater fixed to the bottom of the ten gallon terrarium.

I have read that partial hibernation can occur when the frog undergoes a temperature change (which makes sense as my air conditioned bedroom is not the same temperature as his habitat at the store.) I just wanted to verify this with someone who knows about keeping amphibians. I've also read conflicting information about the necessity of a UV light. Since the frog is primarily nocturnal in the wild, I see no need for a UV light but as I've been reading about the hibernation behavior, I've seen some information that says the frogs are fine without the UV light and other information that says they need it. That's just something  I wanted to double check as well.

One more thing I wanted to ask about is the water dish in his tank. It isn't a deep water dish and he's a baby so it is a small one that he can fit in but (and again, this is where I've read some conflicting information) I've read that pacman frogs can drown in their water dishes but I've also read that they like to sit in their dishes and soak. If you have any input on the issue, that would be fantastic.

I appreciate any advice you have to share on the subject. I hope this finds you well.

Thank you so much,
Emilee

Answer
OK, so here goes. Shallow dish of water that he can climb into and out of is fine. I would not provide any UVB lighting to the enclosure. I would try to keep the terrarium as close to his original habitat as possible I would also invest in a hygrometer to measure humidity as air conditioning can really dry out a terrarium fast.
