Crickets as staple food for larger amphibians

[Frogger00]

Yes if properly gut loaded and supplemented, mossies are very rarely eating anything else in captivity, they eat roaches, dubia are one of the best feeders out there, but unfortunately for us living in Canada, they are not available.

mealworms and superworms are NOT appropriate food for frog, we discussed it so many times before.

silkworms and hornworms are ok in very small quantities as an occasional treat only for variety.

frogger00 and Brittany, please don't go off topic, otherwise the thread gets cluttered and it's hard for OP to get question answered. Thank you.

Hmmm...I don't remember having a conversation with you about why supers and meal worms are not "appropriate" . Care to explain yourself?

I don't feel I was going off topic, we were discussing nutritional value of feeders.

You can use search button and find many many threads and posts on the matter, there is no point of going into in depth discussion here, you are welcome though to carry on discussion in one these threads on nutritional value.
summary however - too high in fat and chitin. Silks contain triaminase, horns - thiaminase and too much water.

the question was - if that's ok to feed mossy frogs only crickets as that's all they are interested in eating.
