    No as mentioned it is not necessary to remove the legs of a cricket. However, the cricket ( or any feeder) should be appropriated size for the frog. A general rule of thumb : a cricket should fit between the a frog's eyes. Having said that , watch your frog eat. If it seems to struggle, then simply feed smaller crickets.

    White's tree frogs will very happily eat crickets with legs attached! Adult White's Tree frogs can comfortably eat large crickets (legs and all) with no problems.
