Amazing! When was last time you fed him before this happened and how is his appetite now?

This is a combination of incredibly cool and terrifying. Thanks for sharing this and glad your frog is going to be ok.
ps. I'd also love details on how the vet removed the rocks.
This is unbelievable ! Poor guy!
I'm so glad he will seemingly survive this.
I would guess he will now have room for a big REAL meal.
Thanks for sharing, it's very educational

This is crazy, what an amazing story. Glad he survived, I'm also with John... Your vet must of been very experienced in removing all those rocks in the procedure without causing damage or harm to the frog. I'm not sure if the Budgetts frog have been known to swallow rocks more than other semi-aquatic or aquatic frogs, but I'm definitely not going to keep my pixie in his new setup when I build it with gravel. Thanks for sharing.
Just thinking about this again. I think you should name your vet please. She deserves the publicity, and other amphibian keepers in your area could surely use the pointer to an amphibian-savvy vet. Thanks!

Wow... Not even I could eat those rocks lol...
them things are more like boulders!
Good thing she's okay :]
I love stories like this
crazy looking picture. Is the frog still ok now, two weeks later?
I bet at the time he was real happy with himself with that full gut!
