EMERGENCY!!! i just fed my pacman frog a super worm, hes about the size of 2 quarters. Now he has a huge bulge in his stomach, will he be ok or well he bie sick???

that might of been a bit big for him.. never feed him anything over half his size, i dont think its bloat tho. He may have some blockage but doubtful, give him a day and if he is still like that take him to a vet.

What does the bulge look like? The frogs sometimes "reposition" their food and thereby make one of sides of its stomac look bigger. That usually goes away pretty soon though.

He'll be okay most likely. Keep him warm so he can digest his meal and maybe soak him in some warm water a few days later to help him pass it, mine usually always defecate in warm water. I was feeding mine superworms from the very beginning and have never had a problem. You will see the worm "bulging" from his stomach till he starts to digest it.

It happens when you feed small frogs larger items. Don't worry about it. If you feed it Night Crawlers when it gets larger, watch closely. I can usually see the worm rolling around inside my frog. It was a little weird at first, but now its just amusing.

My Pacman has a buldge but it's from a cricket. It looks like the cricket's head is poking out against the inside of my little pac. It looks painful, but he isn't being weird. Is that what it's like? Can anyone give me advice?

Wait until you get your frog on mice...talk about a bulge. I wouldn't worry. When my boyfriend's frogs eat mice you can feel it for a few days in their stomach. Their stomach expands and contracts as needed.

Yeah I knew they have huge bulges, but I didn't realize you actually could see the outline of what they ate! the cricket's head is a little lump (like a tumor) it's trippy.
