    All I know is in the middle of the night I heard "Whooop....Whooop {siren sound}...We've reached DEFCON 5, NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEGUN, SHES ABOUT TO RELEASE A CHOCOLATE HOSTAGE".... Then I woke up and found that little beauty.

    She actually pushed out two about that size.

    Minimal coco fiber in it, I think maybe I over fed on the roaches. I'm going to change to 1 earth worm a day, and a roach with worm every third. Pinky once a month.

    FYI, I could see the lumps move down the left side of the frog (left side from frogs perspective) into the pelvis and back to the vent. This morning I couldn't see the large bulge (roach like I thought) on the right. So the last tract of intestine before the vent is on the left side of this frog.

    Yep, it's a loop. Swings out past the stomach on the right and then loops to their left. You will always notice though that when they need to have a bowel movement the feces will begin on the right side. You can actually feel it move when you massage the lump on the right side and then it will move to the left just before the release it. Its actually kind of cool how you can see their intestines at work.

    FYI, Deedub if you're feeding adult roaches to the frog then that is why he became impacted. They take a while to digest as adults because their exoskeleton is fully developed. Anytime I've fed adult roaches to mine they took alot longer to have a bowel movement.

    How big is the roach? How big are the frog's intestines? That's what I thought...roach is bigger. Good grief....
