    If people dont have a roach colony going im guessing Nightcrawlers are pretty much the best staple diet then?

    yes. you can substitute roaches with a crickets - for a big guy to catch a lot of crickets is quite a workout.
    it is actually pretty funny how they eating crickets, they look so tiny in comparison to a frog, but a frog is going after them anyway, sometimes catching 2 at a time
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    My frogs diet consists of mostly hornworms, low in fat, high in protein and good water content. Ill add some crickets and superworms for a little roughage

    Hissing roaches are the perfect size for a large pixie. One of them can easily weigh as much as a mouse. Slower and less work then crickets which also don't hold a candle to the nutritional value of a roach. Hornworms are great however they are hard to find and expensive. Night crawlers are also a great meal but there slime will collect large amounts of substrate which can cause impaction. Best to feed them is with tongs.
