White's tree frog throwing up stomach?

[lraulston]

So, I am feeding my White's tree frog tonight. I have a little plastic kritter keeper that I put crickets in and just let my little white's jump from his viv into there and eat. He is spoiled and jumps out whenever I open the door of his viv and he never seems to catch the crickets I just put in there very well. Well, I gave him 3 large crickets as usual and he ate the first 2 quickly. He sat in there for a little while and I wasted my time trying to get him to call to me. Anyways, I threw a few mealworms in there to see if he wanted any. He didn't, and after a while he jumped for the cricket, and was shoving it down. I noticed him shoving a little more with his hands and then noticed squishy something coming out of his mouth. He tried to swallow a couple more times, and it kept oozing out of his mouth. It was pinkish red with what looked like vessels and on one side was a clear part (intestines maybe? or fat tissue) Well, he swallowed a few more times, twisted his body a little like he does when he eats, and then he seemed fine. Haven't seen him open his mouth again, but his lips meet like normal and he is just hanging out on a branch right now. I am wondering if this was his stomach he threw up? I am freaking out. Is this common? Is it bad? Could he have damaged anything? Temps are 80-85 day, high 70s at night. Humidity 50-70%, Eco Earth substrate that I added about a week ago. He had a fresh poop this morning, normal sleep cycle, was hungry tonight when I fed him and has no other problems. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

There was some residue from me dumping dusted crickets in the critter keeper such as calcium dust and some cricket poo that I needed to clean out but haven't yet. could he have gotten something in his mouth he wanted out? But whatever it was, it didn't come all the way out, just into his mouth and then he swallowed it. Currently, he is perched on a branch acting normal and does not appear to be in any discomfort.

Wow that is weird. It couldn't have been the stomach, maybe his tongue was in a weird position? I don't know, but if hes acting fine I wouldn't worry about it.

Agreed, I've heard a story where someone overfed a WTF (almost impossible) and it puked up all over. Could he just just have gotten cricket leg scratches on his tounge?

[lraulston]

I am not sure. I thought at first it was his tongue too, but it looked more membrane like. Maybe if his tounge got flipped upside down....I don't know. Lol I am just so paranoid with my frogs! He seems to be his happy self this morning. He even left me another poop.

Just from personal experience, this sounds completely normal to me. Mine does this with his tongue occasionally when he eats, it looks like some kind of white membraney thing oozing out of the sides of his mouth, as you described. I think they're just adjusting their tongues is all, you shouldn't have anything to worry about unless he starts doing something REALLY weird and something actually detaches from inside him and he pukes it up.

I know it might be hard, but pictures could really help. It sounds normal to me but I haven't seen it, so don't take my word for it. It could be something completely different. D:
