@Malachi Yeah true, cornuta pacman frogs feed primarily on frogs in the wild. I guess my answer was a little distorted; If I had to rephrase from the sentence it would be that I meant high fat-content vertebrates, but the info is out there that too many vertebrates can and will cause complications so we can both agree on that. Disease risk is also another factor, however frogs in the same region typically adapt immunity to the diseases found among their environment.
For the references I used talking about the enzyme process, some if it was general knowledge (red meat in our diet not so good because of the high fat content and tissue that applies to the same general rule of feeding too many vertebrates to frogs), and some of the other information I briefly researched was just googling "kidney and liver failure" or "how does the break down process occur in the organs". Don't have the specific websites for you as I just google real quick to sound knowledgeable or helpful (lol) and get it from wikipedia or a few other sites, sorry. Also another source I gathered for this was from the care sheet written on African Bullfrogs by John where he is breaking down why it's not good for frogs to be fed excess amounts of vertebrates.
I have an 8 month old male almost identical to BOO, maybe even a little more crazy. Ill get a video of him next time i feem him a mouse. My guy has to eat mice after a couple weeks or else hes always hungry. A mouse every 3 weeks or month is perfect to keep him fat and happy.
If I'm not mistaken I remember reading one of the problems with a "rodent overload", one which the rodent is the main part of the frogs diet, is lipid depostion in the eyes, resulting in possible blindness.
