moths ok?

Well maybe it's the apocolypse , but we are surrounded by moths in my part of the country... Would my white's like these as a treat? They are just plain grey moths... I've heard of grey tree frogs enjoying moths, but what about white's?

I would be careful of giving them wild caught anything. You never know what the moths have eaten or been in contact with.

Both of my White's love moths. They catch them right out of the air in their feeding tank.

I can see that wild caught food is risky... but I live in deep country, in the mountains, so I suspect that they are safe. I also wonder if, because the moths are not the same type of moth in Australia or Indonesia (I assume), that could also be risky.
I see my white's stare at the moths that are attracted to his light, and he goes for them (they are outside his enclosure, so he hasn't eaten any that I know of), and I had a passing thought to feed them to my frog. Just wanted to know others experience with moths...

nmrobi, how long have you had your white's, and how often do you feed them moths?

[nmrobi]

They get a moth maybe once a month for a snack. I have had my whites for two years but I got my first ones 8 years ago but had to give them to a friend because I left home for 2 years to serve an LDS mission in Denver.

OK, Cool... I really don't get a gut feeling that it is such a bad idea. I think my frog would actually enjoy them.

If you feel that they have not come into contact with any pesticides then they would be perfectly fine to feed to your White's Tree Frog. It's up to you whether you want to risk feeding them to your frog or not.
