I have heard of reptiles being found dead with coco fiber in their throat, dying from impaction due to ingesting it and so on. ANY loose substrate that can get in their mouth can cause an impaction no matter what it is.
I think Lovenokias suggestion is spot on, and most authors and experienced herp keepers will suggest that Pacman Frogs are best fed on a smooth bare surface to avoid ingestion of substrate.

Coco fiber may offer a LOWER possibility of impaction by ingestion, but it doesnt outright rule out the possibility by any means.
Reptiles are not Amphibians first off. I do not work for nor do I plan to work for said companies and I have always used Coco fiber. The only time it becomes and issue is if it is prepared incorrectly which happens quite often.

Ra you seem to claim a lot of the info I provide to be false and it almost seems like you do it purposely. Coconut Fiber is completely safe WHEN PREPARED CORRECTLY. You use moss WHICH is most definitely a impaction risk and has always been. When you have to remove a long strand out of your frogs Cloaca maybe then you'll realize that. I have had to do so and you may remove your frogs for feeding, BUT I bet that you don't remove them when they shed and the moss ox stuck to them. You know very well that they eat their shed and anything stuck to their shed becomes ingested.

Now I'm not sure if you do this purposely to try and discredit many of my responses and advice or absentmindedly. Quite frankly its annoying
NOTHING other than food should be ingested, but the safest that is less likely to cause impaction is in fact Coconut Fiber and tong feeding is used to limit any being ingested, but proper preparation of the substrate and removal of any hazardous objects should be removed.

There are several that can back my information if needs be, BUT if there is some kind of misunderstanding once again please feel free to say so.
