    Default Choking on a millipede

    So I fed Froggo a millipede recently and he seems to be like opening and closing his mouth a lot, is this possibly because he's choking on it?

    Could he be shedding? My past toads always used to do that when they were shedding. I would check inside his mouth to see if it's still there.

    he could have been shedding like mentioned or it could be stuck in his mouth or the millipede could have bit him. If he continues to do it I would try to open his mouth and see if you can see anything in there. Either then that just keep an eye on him but I imagine he will be ok, could have just had a hard time swallowing it for some reason or it could have a had a weird taste that he didn't like and that was his way of telling you. For the future if you just found the millipede around the house I wouldn't do that to often, wild caught feeders could pass things on to your frog like parasites.

    Some millepedes can secrete nasty tasting chemicals, that could have been it.
