    Grif wouldnt you agree with the fact that the majority of Rat breeding facilities are problably the nastist places to be on earth? they have hundreds of breeder rats in bins that get the cheapest dog food to eat everyday for the rest of those rats misrable lives. they never get bathed or vet checked. if one dies, it gets thrown in the freezer for the next trip to fill pet store freezers. they have no names, they have no freedom, they are just a dollar amount attached to their size. Cricket farms are no different.
    The only thing that is different though is worm farms. the dirt they live in has bacteria colonies in it that destroys most diseases rapidly which makes worms of any kind the safest critter for feeding. But worms are nothing more than mere skin and juices. there is no real liver or bones or measureable heart, or mineral filled brain to eat as a mammal has. so to solely feed worms as a staple would be deficient to you frog.
    Fish from a clean source are fine, but only certain fish.

    Earthworms are the most nutritious food for your frog. They contain a good amount of protein and are high in calcium. My GABF is fed. Night Crawlers as a staple and he hit 6.25" in 4 months. I think you don't fully know what you're talking about. He has never once had a fish.

    Carlos is right though and I honestly feel that there is nothing more to add since you are obviously hard set of this endeavor.
