    If you do a search of threads here, there have been some not so great experiences. I thought about trying them too, but eventually decided against it as a result of those threads. Not talking about the possibility that they'll chew through your frog (which I have no idea if that is founded or not,) but just the idea that they come out whole and even alive, which is experiences that I've read about on here.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    I'm wondering if it has to do with the size or robustness of the frog? Here's the post I made on Frank Indiviglios blog and his response Frog Diets - Nutritious Foods for Popularly-Kept Frogs and Toads and here's the article on the larvae, interesting comments Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Calciworms) as Food for Reptiles and Amphibians
    Mom to these fine frogs!
    4.4.0 White's tree frogs (Litoria caerulea): Sir Honey Lime, Bok & Choi, Martha, Shirley, Leapin' Loo and Ping & Pong; 0.2.1 Amazon Milk Frogs (Trachycephalus resinifictrix): Otto & Echo and Pip-Squeak aka Tiny
    2.0.0 South American Bird Poo Frogs (Hyla marmorata): Ribbit & Rupert
