    Default Clear sack coming out of my pacmans anus. Any ideas what the problem is?

    Hi there,
    My son and i have had this pac man frog for about six months now. it seems really healthy eats well and has more then doubled in size since we got him or her.
    We went to feed our frog tonight and i noticed this clear sack coming out of its anus. We left it alone of course but we are kinda worried about it. Any ideas what it could be? This frog is about the size of a silver dollar or a little bit bigger.
    When we feed it we put it in a clean clear critter cage so it doesnt eat dirt with the crickets. I noticed it urinated more then usual. Then noticed the clear sack. We went ahead and threw in a few crickets and it ate like it normally does.
    the temp it consistent clean water every day and well cared for.
    hopefully this is some thing caused from stress from being moved from it's home.
    Let me know what ya think,
    thanks.

    Protruding intetines can be caused by many things. Does the area seem infected around the anus? It is possible to treat this yourself by use of a cotton swab that is clean. You can gently place the protrusion back inside the frog. Poor housing conditions among other things can cause this. As I have never had this happen and the procedure for placing them back in sounds risky to me I would most definetly consult a vet that treats amphibians imediately. If your frog tries to poop it could be catastrophic and probably kill the frog. I suggest taking him/her to a vet. Do you use de-chlorinated water?
