maverick did get a minor bite on the lip but i grabbed the mouse by the neck and she ate it.The reason i feed like that was because she doesnt like to eat by herself.And before u guys go off on maverick getting bit,she only got bit on the lip she did not bleed,or make any noise of pain just a small bump.

What do you mean "She doesn't like to eat by herself"? I don't understand what you're saying or why that makes you have to rub live feeders on your frog's face... I may be misunderstanding what you're saying, but please clarify?

You can avoid your frog getting bitten by feeding frozen/thawed mice, or by not pressing live feeders into your frog's face. You said you've fed her a live mouse like that only twice, and your frog has already been bitten. I'm not trying to be mean, but that is dangerous to the frog, cruel to the mouse, and irresponsible if you keep doing it. Next time that mouse could nip or scratch her face two centimeters up and she could lose an eye.
Basically, you got lucky that the bite didn't do any damage. But the fact that it happened so in your first two feedings is an indicator that what you have been doing is not a safe way to feed! Please don't use that technique again...

IMO live feeders should only be used as a last resort when an animal refuses all other foods. Otherwise (especially with frogs and how easily damaged their skin is) it's an unnecessary risk.

Okay, I re-read what I just said and it sounded kind of harsh. But it sounds like you probably don't have a lot of experience with keeping herps, so maybe try f/t for awhile if she's eating other feeders, and ask other keepers (not Youtube videos... most of those are just guys wanting to seem macho because their frog ate something) about safer techniques before you try feeding live again.

If there is one on both sides they are a gland.
