    Yes they can become full. Most will eat large quantities of insects and never seem to be full, but they usually stop once they are.

    Some frogs and toads can be picky eaters and shy away from trying new foods. Some frogs and toads don't like roaches if the roach in question has spiny legs. This can turn them off of eating roaches. You will need to find something the toad will like aside from just mealworms.

    One Mealworm will not fill up the toad. They can eat significantly more than that before satisfied.

    Do you mean is it safe to leave the Grasshoppers in the tank with the toad? If so then yes.
