Frogs have trouble digesting mammalian tissues so adding hair to the process makes it that much worse and even more of a risk for impaction and prolapsed intestine. Better safe than sorry. If you need more calcium content you dust the pinky before offering it. Problem solved.
Just what I was thinking. I never feed any rodents to reptiles eigther (exept most snakes ofcorse).
When a reptile isn't doing well, maybe a pinky/fuzzy could help gain a little fat. But in my experiance I never suggest feeding rodents anyway. Even my large monitors were only fed rodants on occasion, they don't need it.
Comming bac to the Ceratophrys, No rodents then as it could do more harm than good.
Thanks guys.
