Re: Frog just ate some bark
That happened to my Pixie when I first got her. I was terrified that she would die, but luckily she passed it within a couple of days. 7 years later and she's still doing great. Just give him some time and I think he will be okay.
Re: Frog just ate some bark
Yeah, I used to use a 50/50 mix of top soil and coconut fiber. It started becoming a problem when there was always pieces of mulch in the top soil he could ingest, so I went back to being safe and use 100% coconut fiber now in his tank. I fed him in another tank when I use to have that soil with mulch in it, but now it's much more convenient feeding him in his own tank with all coconut fiber. The main reason it seems that a lot of people like to use top soil is that it's so cheap! You can get a 40lb of top soil for $2, whereas with coconut fiber you get a brick for like $4-5.
Re: Frog just ate some bark
I think he may have puked it up I see a similar sized piece in the water floating around though I cant be sure...
Re: Frog just ate some bark
Just finished adding a layer of coco to his tank to cover all the random wood chips.

Always and I mean always inspect the substrate you are using for your frogs. Wood chips most of the time = impaction. Hopefully he will be fine. They're tough animals, just follow the advice given above.
Re: Frog just ate some bark
hope hes ok, make sure he poops and keep him in his water i feed my guy by tongs and in the water he eats on his own.
Re: Frog just ate some bark
He just pooped but he ate crickets before the wood so we shall see in a few days. I did notice that floating wood chip in the water which there is never any in there. He spends most the day/night lounging in his 4gal aquatic section. He usually has a movement every day.
Re: Frog just ate some bark
Sorry for so many updates, he just ate about 8 adult crickets just now so his appetite is still there.
Re: Frog just ate some bark
He had another movement about an hour ago so his second one since the swallowing so I think he either passed it or puked it up.
Re: Frog just ate some bark
Just replaced his other filter with a Amazon.com: Penn Plax Cascade 300 Internal Filter for Aquariums: Pet Supplies
and added the amazing Amazon.com: Seachem Purigen 250ml: Pet Supplies
This filter finally never clogs up with bedding and had a canister type filtration media area.
