Pill bugs/Sow bugs/Rollie-Polies

In the Hermit Crab community there are a number of people who use Sow bugs as a tank cleaner. The eat up all the decomposing food, reproduce at a low enough rate not to overwhelm, and cohabitate well.

Would this work with my Grey Tree Frog, or would he gorge himself on the little beasties?

Thanks.

They make a great froggy snack.

Will I have to worry about overeating?

I believe overeating is not a concern with male gray treefrogs as much as the females. I have read the females will gorge themselves but I have a female gray and she stops when she is full. I guess it depends on the individual frog. But overall I would not be concerned with it.

I have a colony of clean-up-crew sow bugs in my viv. If they are getting eaten, it's at a slower rate than they reproduce.

Do you remember about how many you needed to start the colony?
