The whole idea of a staple is that you feed them that 50 percent of the time. All of the meaty items probably taste better that Reptomin. If the frogs are being feed too often and being offered meaty foods too often they will have no problem picking and choosing. I never have a problem with my frogs refusing food, they only get fed twice a week tops. Sometimes I skip a week. I feed pellets one time then meaty items the next time. My frogs are in good health and are plenty plump.
