    Unhappy My FBT ate a pebble!

    I just fed my three FBT's like 5 mins ago and one of them caught a cricket in it's mouth as well as a pebble. the cricket escaped, the the toad still proceeded to eat the pebble. I tried grabbing it out of his mouth but he swallowed it! Now he's just sitting on a piece of wood and the sides of his stomach are twitching. is there anything I can do? do frogs barf?

    Thats not good. There is really nothing you can do at this point except hope that he either passes the pebble or it doesn't impact him. Don't feed him for a couple if days. We should always be careful with pebbles and only get the ones too big to swallow. Hope your frog ends up ok

    How is the frog doing? Did he vomit the pebble?

    I woke up this morning and he was acting normal... I didn't see any vomit in the tank. But he was hiding, while the others were out in the open.

    He might be as to pass it if he stays well hydrated. About how big was the pebble?

    Give him a soak in some warm water and see if that may help, You may be out of luck though

    Does his belly look bloated? That's good to hear.

    No, he does not look bloated. I think he is doing very well. how long does it take for a FBT to digest and poop food?

    Usually the darkened skin is from temperature and humidity and is nothing to worry about. But
    since he ate a pebble, still check if he is willing to eat and if he is active.

    You may want to place a layer of larger smooth rocks over the pebbles.

    Any poop yet? How's he doing? Has he eaten?

    He looks and is acting fine. I gave him a cricket and he ate it, but I took a closer look at his bum area and I can tell that he is trying to pass the pebble, if you know what I mean. I will try to post a picture.
