Substrate ingestion

Hey guys

So I recently brought home my new ATB. I literally had just fed him his first frozen/thawed hopper. However after he strikes it and was in the process of eating the mouse a large piece of moss substrate was going down with it.

I was worried it would cause some sort of impaction so I gently pulled it out of the side of his mouth with tweezers.

He let go of the mouse and is now guarding it. Should I attempt to refeed it?
Will substrate really cause a big issue?
