Your choice to put or not your frog is possible danger....it is a big deal and it is serious.
Sorry I don't want to offend you but having myself deal with zoonotic problem right now it makes me plain mad how you underestimate a danger you might put yourself and your frog in.
It is the worst idea possible to get frog (anyone) get exposed to something in order to get immunity. It doesn't work this way especially not in a captive environment.
do you own dogs? are you terrified if they go outside? You have to calm down a little bit. its not like i am scooping up dead animals out side of poison traps or along side the road. I am taking healthy wild animals and deep freezing them for a week, then feeding. My dogs eat tons of stuff outside and bounce back inside. I am not paralized with fear because of that. they have a different immune system than me and it has never effected them. Just like frogs. Just because i dont see your convictions as serious as you do, doesnt mean i am a terrible person. I think my frog is awesome and i want him to be the best he can be. I happen to think that powdered insects as a main diet is not as good as a diverse diet of many critters. This forum is not just for you and me it is for people to read both veiw points and choose which one sounds better to them. that is what we want right?
