You could keep them, and feed them clean veggies for a week, or two. Kind of like a quarantine, or cleansing cycle.

You could also just catch a bunch, and breed them yourself. From what I've read they aren't that difficult to breed, and raise.
I agree, grass hoppers make an excellent feeder for pacs. I fed my Pac nothing but grasshoppers during the summer months and it lived for over 12 years. It would have lived longer if i wouldnt have left home and left it in the care of my neglectful brother. None the less what you need to be careful of is where you get your grasshoppers. pesticides are the big concern in this case. If pesticides are used in your area avoid using grasshoppers. I always say this when it comes to feeding wild caught insects. It is always good to be cautious of what you feed from the wild. But it is ok to feed your frogs grasshoppers if they are caught in a pesticide free enviornment.
