Backyard Black Crickets

I wouldn't recommend feeding your frog wild caught food due to parasites and pesticides. You don't know where those crickets have been or what they have picked up.

Very good response, thanks.

I know its not the answer you were looking for but I don't trust wild caught food. The only time I every fed wild caught food to my pets was a wild caught tadpole to my axolotl. He died because of a lockjaw like disease less than a month later.

Thats why I don't like wild caught food. I hope I just saved your frogs from contracting any illnesses.

Nothing wrong with being cautious. And it is true that your pet can get sick if the insect came into contact with pesitcides. And parasites are always a concern. But your pet can catch parasites from store bought foods just as they can from the wild. You can feed your pets wild caught food no big deal but just be careful of where you catch them at. make sure you catch them in a place were you know there are no pestisides. And also avoid spiders and insects that have venom or can sting.

Great replies !

You could culture wax worms. They love the moths !
My tree frogs go 'bonkers' over them.

Just before lights out...
I modify the moth's legs and throw them in the cricket bowl with the crickets.
When the crickets bump into them ........they flutter.
It's like an alarm clock !
