Size:  155.7 KB and when he went poo there were tons of mealworm heads in it. i am just wondering if these may be cricket parts or should i bring him to a vet? I would think if it was a parasite, the little things would move around or be soft, but i am stumped. when he goes to the bathroom there is hundreds if not thousands in the runny stool. usually he poos out a sausage like terd. this has gone on the last few times i fed crickets. he eats about 5 dozen easily in a single sitting, AWESOME!
Sounds like pinworms. Seek a herp vet for a panacur/flagyl suspention to treat the frog. You want to place him in a hospital setup with only paper towels for substrate to help control the parasites. Keep the paper towels moist and change them and the frog's water everyday. Disinfect the enclosure during each water and paper towel change. Rinse extremely well with hot water and then again with dechlorinated water. Wipe dry before placing new towels and furniture back in with the frog.

Keep us posted.
