These frogs can distinguish what's edible and quickly regurgitate gravel, stones, etc that they accidentally scoop into their mouths. Also, a question you may wish to think about is: if frogs go around ingesting rocks, gravel, bark, etc., how is it possible that they've managed to survive for so long in the wild? The "impaction" myth has been around for as long as the Internet but it has no basis in fact in my experience of keeping Xenopus continuously (mostly on aquarium gravel) for 26 years.
