Unaware of what it looked like when White's shed their skin and scared to death that my frog was choking, I interrupted his shedding.
He was in the middle of eating a piece of skin that was covered in the substrate I use to line his cage and thought that their may have been a piece of plastic or paper stuck in there that I did not remove when I first put it down and that he had accidently eaten it and was choking. I was so frightened I reached into the cage and pulled the skin out of his mouth! I feel so bad and am frightened that I have done something terrible. This is my first frog and I had looked up videos of them before but I had never seen this strange shedding behavior.
Is this as terrible as I think? It's only been a few hours since the incident and I haven't noticed anything strange, I just want to know the effects of a frog's shedding being interrupted, if there are any at all.
Someone please ease my mind. ><

Many frogs will eat their shed, but others do not. I don't think any harm was done. Just remember, the shed skin is a good meal for the frog.![]()
