They can get out of control if you let them. 600 adults are a lot, I usually try to feed off the extra males. My cane toads and bullfrog can sure put them away. My turtle loves them too. When you have that many breeders the ratio 8 females to 1 male is pretty close to the best breeding you can get. But i am sure you are already breeding them faster then you are feeding them off.
