Thanks for the reply Grif. I respect that this is off topic and sorry for that, but it would be out of context now if I reply to the other thread. I just read the pacman food "just add water" thread and it was covered there.

To reply to what you just said; Is the hard evidence dead frogs? Ren put it in pretty clear terms based on the physiology of the frogs, as well as the known detrimental effects of some of the ingredients based on the biological makeup and capability of the digestive tract. It hasn't been scientifically proven either way, I guess that is lacking in hard evidence. Just seems like a unhealthy way to 'power feed' the frogs. I'll stick with whole prey items, even for treats and not conduct that test.

I would love for this to be a legitimate staple diet, but won't put my frogs at risk for convenience. From a breeder standpoint, considering the bottom line and running a business, it ultimately makes perfect sense to use this stuff. The frogs are a business investment and the quicker you can get them to breeding condition the better. I understand and respect that. P. Vasjoli talks about this some in his books. Breeders have to look at thier frogs differently. You can't afford to treat them as pets.

As this was offered as advice to the OP as a diet for the small frog, it is on topic. Unfortunately I don't have anything to offer that hasn't already been said. You guys covered it.
