wild animals vs pet store feeders, are they both safe for pixies to eat?

Hi Matt! No one here thinks you are a terrible person . From reading your posts in this and other threads, it's clear you have your way of doing things and learning. That is all good and fine because they are your frogs, dogs, etc. Myself would not give my frog or let my dog eat anything found outside in the wild...ever. It's not a matter of immunity, logic, or trust in my veterinary's capability. It's a matter of risk!

Me and other members in forum do not estimate risk like you do; that is all. You can present your methods, see the logic in them, argue every point and debate your position for a very long time and that is fine. However, as long as other members consider it a risk to their loved pets, they will continue to take a stand against that risk. Again, no one here is a terrible person and every now and then, we just have to agree that we disagree !

well spooken carlos! I am just sharing with everyone A way. there are many diseases in the world and so to constantly think of "worse case senerio" for every possible decision is a waist of time. For me i will take the risk of a well balanced diet instead of the risk of depleated overall health from an unbalanced diet. I "might" have a problem some day. and if i do i have you guys to contact. (:
Thank you for the kind words.

Carlos,
If you let your dog outside believe me it is eating things that you would not like. that is what an animal does. yet if your dog has been let out since it was a puppy it has built up immunities to many many many things. think of the parasites that are on rabbits. and dogs love to roll and eat rabbit droppings.
these same rules apply to all living things. easpecial an african frog.
