    That´s what they call a prolapse, if it is/was bleeding, the intestine might be damaged.
    Best thing to do is take it to a vet knowing how to handle amphibians.
    You best take him out and put him in a clean terrarium or curver with only kitchen towel and a bowl of clean water, possibly with some honey or saline solution.
    Sometimes the intestine will pull back on its own, otherwise you might wan't to massage it back, tho this is rather difficult when you got yourself a 2cm prolapse.

    I don't know where you're from, but there are a couple of vets in Holland specialized in amphibians and reptiles,
    the one i trust most is Marja Kik.
    You possibly will get an antibiotic to make sure the damaged intestine isn't infecting, tho most of the times not much can be done when it is damaged,
    they need to amputate a part of the intestine most of the times, but i never heared of this being done by an amphibian.

    Guess that's what you get from feeding mammals and that kind of stuff.
    Keeps me wondering why people keep feeding these food items while knowing the risks.
    But well, hopefully it will turn out ok for you're frog.

    If the pinky or mouse is too large it can cause. A prolapse. You had better do as Wesley says and get him to a vet ASAP. A luke warm sugar water soak with just sugar or Honey can help with swelling, but at this point you need a vet before it becomes more damaged and the frog bleeds to death.

    You need a sterilized tank with moist paper towels as substrate. Maybe something for him to hide under for security. Even place a background on 3 sides like his regular home. Keep everything clean until you can get to a vet. It can be reversed, but right now he needs medical treatment that you can provide.

    15 to 20 minutes probably twice a day. Stop with the chicken meat. That is just as bad and if he hadn't digested it fully and you kept feeding him he could be come impacted which can lead to a prolapse. This is probably what happened. When feeding mice or bird tissues the only other item that you should feed during its digestion is worms. Earth worms or night crawlers because they act as a stool softener and are easier to digest. Its not your fault. You didn't know. Just do your best to care for him while you setup an appointment with a vet. I cannot stre3ss enough how important it is that he gets vet treatment fast. If you wait too lang it could be too late.
