    A picture would be most helpful. I have a feeling your frog was shedding skin, it ddn't come off all the way, and some water is now stuck in it, making it appear to be a gel filled sack. If that's what it is, there's nothing to be worried about.

    HOWEVER! It could be something more serious, please provide a photo.

    I don't think this is a prolapse. It is a big poop!
    Keep an eye on things!
    Keep the feeders on the smaller side.
    You don't want them to struggle..... swallowing their food.
    Better it's .....many smaller crickets / than a few larger ones.

    I lean towards prolapse- it was described as a 'gelatinous sack', it appears to have a vein on it (running vertically in the picture and near the cloaca), and it appears to be bluish/pink. I would love to be wrong though.

    There are many pictures of prolapses to be found on google for Anita to compare with. Hopefully she'll give us an update on how her frogs doing.

    I think I agree with you now that I downloaded the image and zoomed in on it. I see what you're talking about now.
