I've heard this repsonse from members hundreds of times, but never have heard anyone post about losing and animal from feeding it wild-caught foods? Especially taking the time to discern that the wild-caught animal had parasites, what type of parasites and that they were the same parasites that killed their captive animal? You'd have to disect the animal the do this.

I've been feeding my ornata wild caught frogs for years during the spring and summer months when they're available...never had any issues. Just make sure they are grass frogs (Pseudacris ocularis) , woods frogs (Rana sylvatica) or leopard frogs (Rana pipens). If you're worried about parasites you can also order and raise your own eggs from biological supply companies...I've done this serveral times as well.

This is the primary food for this species of frogs in the wild, close to 80% of their natural diet is other anurans.
