I've not heard this with feeding chicks, but it is possible with feeding your frog anything that can potentially overload their system with protein. Fat buildup like this can also occur.
Actually quail have a higher fat content than either of them at 31.9%. I have seen only maybe one or two cases of the "cloudy eye" and I am very skeptical on it being because of a rodent diet, as they have less protein than insects of similar size. Phillipe de Vosjoli himself advocates a rodent only diet once they reach adulthood. As stated before, I have an ornata that is going on 7 years of a nearly rodent exclusive diet with zero problems whatsoever, and I remember Ed Clark fed everything he had rodent only diets, including his cornuta.
