It is similar to the exoskeleton of other arthropods and insects. Its a form of chitin and unlike other small inverts is too well developed for the frog to digest. It would not break down. This is a much thicker stronger armor than that of say roaches and far more developed than that of the Mealworm and even they can cause a serious impaction if Fed too often, but it would only take one Crayfish to do the job.
