Thanks for posting this, Justin! I have been wondering what frogs are preyed on by horned frogs and what could be used as feeders for horned frogs (mostly the Surinam horned frog). Have you seen/read anything on what specific species horned frogs prey on in the wild? Does your C. ornata seem to prefer any particular species of feeder frog? Are any of them (grass frogs, wood frogs, leopard frogs, etc.) easier to raise than the others?

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.
