Does anyone else do this, and do I need to do it??

I do that for my Chorus frogs' and salamanders crickets, it makes them easier to catch. Also, if you're forcefeeding a frog, popping the hind legs off of crickets makes it easier. I cringe whenever I do it, but if it's for my amphibians, I'll do it.

I also cut off the hind legs of the locusts I feed to my frogs, with scissors. Apart from the fact that they are really hard to digest, if I accidentally drop them inside the terra, they hop straight to the top of the enclosure :-).

Yeah I need to introduce more foods , He is getting bigger now. I really dont like cutting locust back legs off but I felt it needed to be done ,as well as digestion issue They kept jumping out or on top of enclosure . Tried worms a while back ,he really seems to be fussy as he isn`t keen on crickets too, he seemed to go off them. Then again all my reps are fussy eaters lol
