Pacman frog tongue

no it is not reversible if that is a short tongue syndrome, but you can make a frog more comfortable by tong feeding him. sometimes it may feel they have a short tongue, but they're just plain lazy, my male is like that, i don't think he's ever caught a food himself in his life, may be when he was a a very very tiny, but never in my
care. he'd rather sit with open mouth and wait for a food to get in, very funny

It can be corrected. Short tongue syndrome doesn't just mean the actual tongue is short. It has to do with it not functioning properly. The frog can't flip its tongue out as far as it could due to the lack of calcium and Vitamin A, but if the frog was born with a short tongue then no it is not reversable.

I think he was probably just born with a short tongue. I also read that the glands which produce the sticky mucus on the tongue don't function properly if they have short tongue syndrome so they can't catch their prey.

Yep and that is what the Vitamin A is for. Vitamin A is used by their body to produce the mucus in those glands.
