I feed my frogs roaches that I raise at home. This way I can provide super nutrient foods to my roaches, which will in turn mean lots of vitamins for my animals.

I sometimes capture moths for them at the porch light at night. They abolsutely go crazy for moths.

However, when catching insects from the outdoors there is always a chance you will capture a bug with pesticides, fertilizers, or some other chemical on them that could be poisonous to your frogs. I would be especially careful of earth worms you find in the yard, they have almost certainly been bathing in fertilizers and other chemicals, if not from your yard, then from your neighbors.

Do not feed your frogs super worms or meal worms. These "worms" are not actually worms, but beetle larvea with a shell. Meal/super worms have very little nutritional value, and because of the high shell content they often result in constipation (impaction) in your frog, which can lead to death if it's a severe case.

I highly recommend culturing your own roaches, but if that's not something you want to do your next best bet is to buy crickets from a pet store.

Be sure to dust feeder insects with multivitamin powder once a week, and calcium+D3 powder 2-3 times a week.

Always use bottled spring water or treated tap water (chlorine removed). Chlorine is very toxic to your frogs. You can mist the tank with distilled water, this will prevent water spots all over your tank. You don't want your frogs to soak in distilled water. Because distilled water is SO pure and has zero minerals in it, the water will actually leech important vitamins and minerals from your frog's skin, and we don't want that! Lightly misting them with distilled water is perfectly harmless, it's kinda like getting rained on for them. Rain water is also low or free of minerals, much like distilled water (I think.)

Only partially true. Crickets are the best staple diet you can buy from most pet stores, true. However, feeder roaches raised and gut loaded with high quality foods (like high protein organic dog food, organic fruits & vegetables) are much more nutritious, have less shell (making them easier to digest), are higher in protein, and lower in fat than crickets are.
