Am I feeding too many crickets?

[taniaaust1]

? how does one correct error in heading? Are I feeding too many crickets?

I like to feed my pond frogs some crickets every day cause I enjoy watching them go after them. Yesterday one of the frogs got out completely of the water and was sitting up on a high rock allowing me to have a full view of it. Im horrified at how bloated or fat this frog looked (I thought it must of died and bloated on the rock, till I realised I was completely fine and was on the rock wanting food..

I would of got a photo but it was starting to get dark and I wouldnt have got close enough with the flash). Unless it was fat with eggs??? (they have been spawning).


They are marsh frogs so I dont usually see them in full view unless I can see them sitting under a rock but then I dont have a full view.. if they are swimming in pond they are half amongst plants Then another maybe fat frog got up on a different rock? (it wasnt as bloated as the other) but when it went for a cricket on a rock, didnt hop but walked. Is this walking common behaviour for spotted marsh frogs???.. or are my frogs way too fat to hop properly?

They do hop a little bit when they are in the water and half on lilly pads but this was first time I'd see them completely out for a while.Thou they appear obese (or maybe just egg filled).. Im worried if I cut back on the crickets they may start to eat the tabpoles in the pond.

Anyway.. can frogs get obese from just being fed crickets once a day? (on top of what food is naturally outside.. I dont have a lot of plants around the pond so there isnt an abundance of insects out there except for ants which these dont eat).
