Leaf Litter

[GrifTheGreat]

Well, mines don't actually "spit" the foreign matter out, but it more or less just falls out. They usually grab their food with their hands, but in the event they just jump and eat it, additional things get in and they just open their mouths and whatever it is falls out, coated in slime, which I'm guessing is stomach acid.

I didn't realize all frogs didn't do this. We only have 2 types of Anura here so, but that sounds unlucky for a hungry pacman.

It's their voracious appetite that can be their downfall. You see when it comes to food they will inevitably eat some substrate. The only real way the get the soil out of their mouth is by shoving it out with their tongue and then wiping at it to try and remove it. They cannot and do not do this with food in their mouth. Once the food item is in their mouth whatever is in with it will be swallowed. They wipe at their mouth while prey is in there to force it to the center of the mouth for easier swallowing. The wiping may remove some soil, but I can assure you that what goes in with food is swallowed not removed or dropped. Sometimes pieces may fall out, but the majority goes down with the prey. This is why bark like Cyprus bedding and sphagnum/ wood chip bedding are not to be used. Rocks as well. The WILL accidentally eat it and die.

Common sends and playing it safe is the best way to care for your Pacman. Ask questions and research. :-)
