Try using night crawlers as one frog's staple and Pacman Food for another and see what the results might be. I get significant growth from a staple of Night Crawlers, but I also offer food daily. Treats are waxworms, dubias, Hornworms, pinkies, and Pacman food.
Would be an excellent comparison if you were to compare it to better food items. Crickets have nowhere near the nutrition of Pacman food.
I like the growth the Pacman food gives but I don't think it makes a good staple.
