You should be happy you didn't have much problems yet... The more you see, the more you know, the more serious and at times even paranoid lol, you become in terms of risk factors. You can't be too safe.
You can't compare dogs and frogs or any other exotic pets. There is so much more can be done for dogs that is not available for frogs in a time of crisis, especially if you have funds for it, companion animal medicine is way more advanced then exotic one with way more possibilities.

Deep freezing will not make it safe to feed, deep freezing will do nothing to most bacteria, viruses heavy metals and other stuff, even some parasites will be perfectly happy to live once defrozen. Bleach will not kill everything.... Disinfecting in my household right now looks like that - destroy everything that can't be disinfected, not diluted bleach, then 100% alcohol then undiluted bleach again and after that I still don't have 100% guarantee that it is gonna be safe... I understand that is extreme, but I have no choice...... So yeah I think I can have an excuse for reacting a bit too much when people underestimating danger.

Anyhow I see you're convinced you do a right thing, I wish you all the best.

Wow Lija, I hope every one is okay....How did something like this happen though? If you don't mind me asking because it sounds bad if your whole collection is in a full scale quarantine and all humans that were in contact are under medical care. I wish you the best though and hope everything gets sorted out soon.
