This is a very good point diversity is always best and these listed are very nutritional. But there is one problem with this If you have frogs such as pac-mans American bullfrogs African bullfrogs and other large species this is not probable even if you breed them by the tens of thousands. besides none of my frogs except for my fire belly would even waste there time with them because they are so small. However this would be good for dart frogs, fire bellies and other such species. My colony of dubias is quite large i have well over 10,000 and growing 3000-4000 each month. And my frogs can do a lot of damage to even that size of colony if i didnt regulate it so closely. i have 4 large species of frogs that can eat 30-40 adult dubia's a peace a day. I think that right now dubia's are even to small. i would trade 50 adult females for 1 adult female hisser if i had that option.
