There is a paper, although I have forgotten the citation, that provides a method for stomach flushing for small frogs and salamanders. It may have been in either JHERP or Herp Review. If you are familiar with flushing turtle stomachs, the technique was essentially the same. I never tried it, but the description seemed pretty strait forward. As I recall, they used a syringe with a piece of really narrow tubing. If you do a search you should find it. It was published within the last 10 years as I remember!
