Food size?

[Frogman1031]

Hello welcome to the forum! The food isnt likely to kill him unless he choked, which i dont think he did. The biggest threat now is impaction. If you have an empty aquarium, isolate him in there with a bare bottom for a few days and look for poop. If after about a week he is pooping regularly and eating well and there are no noticeable bumps or hard places on the abdomen, then he will probably be fine. How much bigger was the food than the space between the eyes? In the wild, the frog would eat big stuff all the time. If they died every time that happened, we'd have no frogs left. Monitor him closely and just be careful the next time that the food isnt big. Good luck!

Thank you for the reassurance. I think it was about 4 or 5mm longer. The frog has been happily swimming around and I can't see any bulges. I don't have any gravel in the tank at the minute as I know it isn't safe for the frog. I will keep an I on the frog. I usually crush the food up but as I was doing it a chunk fell in the water and the little frog grabbed it before I could - it was only part of a shrimp. Can the frog eat fruit flies or not do you know?
