Pacman frog bleeding from nose.

[GrifTheGreat]

20cms tongs, he did not bite them but he struggled with that one cricket he was trying to run off and he was big.
The bleeding only started when cricket head was in the mouth already.
I pinch the cricket by the head and give the butt to the frog so he had space.
I've edited the other post while you were answering, sorry.
What if that yawn movement happens outside of eating time? They're hungry?
Okay so it narrows it down. Most likely he hurted himself in the mouth eating that cricket?
What should i do?
Thanks

They also yawn when shedding because they eat their shed skin.

Give the crickets to him head first. All the spines on their legs hook backwards and the legs fold that way as well. You could feed him smaller crickets if you are worried.

Thanks, will do, head first it is and yes, i got smaller ones now for the next couple of days. I'm sure he can handle adult crickets but just to be safe.
So cricket might have hooked legs to throat and cut him on the way down.
Any idea of what might happened there? He might got hurt in the mouth?
How bad would it be and how can i check?
Thanks Grif

It is possible the cricket's spines scratched the inside of his mouth, but i am unsure. This is a rare occurrence.

In order to look inside his mouth you'll need someone to hold him for you while you gently use a plastic spoon turned upside down to open his mouth. Insert the tip of the spoon between the upper and lower jaws beneath the end of his snout and gently slide in toward the hinge of his jaws. It will not be very easy and he will not be happy, but you can take a peek inside his mouth that way. Be in a well lit area so you can see. Look or any redness on the palit or tongue.

You could also opt to let him be and just keep an eye on him. If he is active and eating normally then he may be fine.

Okay thanks Grif, when i feed him tomorrow i'll set up a camera and some light to see if i can check him without disturbing too much.
He's active, not sure about eating i'll see if he eats tomorrow, but i would believe so, if i see some redness, what can i do to help?

There really isn't anything you can do for his mouth without meds you would get from a vet. You would only need to worry if he does have a wound and it became infected.

Okay so i fed him one cricket, he was burried in is hole, he ate one, i was able to see the tongue which seems normal. But i was not able to check further inside.
I'll give the guy some time. He looks just fine, he borrowed onto the ground after he ate has he normally does, and he doesn't seem to be in pain. I guess there could be a wound his mouth, i'll not feed him tomorrow anyway, so if there is i give him time to heal it. By the weekend i'll try to check his mouth if i see some stranger behavior.
What do you think?

That's fine.

You can also give him softer food if available.
