Frog ate 2 x 2 inch piece of paper towel, what to do?

Overdue update: he passed the paper towel piece on Tuesday!

Awesome news, emandkel! I'm very glad to hear he is doing well. I'm sure it was a very anxious time.

This might be a weird question, but could you tell it was the paper towel? I mean did it break down any? I'm just curious in case I ever come across this situation. I started using small pieces of toilet paper since reading your thread here in case Orion accidentally grabbed it. I figure the t.p. would be easier to pass perhaps.

Super glad he's OK!

He passed it in a soak on Tuesday, came out looking like a good firm poop. I examined it to make sure it was the paper towel. It did not seem to break down any.

I would think toilet paper or some napkins that easily break apart when wet would be more easily passable, and will be using toilet paper from now on for anything I need to wipe out when the frog is in there.

I am very glad to hear that! I was just going to ask if there were any updates.

I would be very careful about using toilet paper... It may seem to disintegrate easier, but it's more likely to have additives and lotions and such which will be toxic to the frog.

Yeah, Grif, I was just thinking about that. You need to make sure it's just plain toilet paper without any scents or additives. And not the quilted kind. The stuff you find at Dollar General in a white wrapper that has "Toilet Paper" written in black lol.

There is bleach in most toilet paper, don't use that. Then again, I have read there is bleach in some paper towel too.

I didn't know that, thank you
