In addition to carrying parasites and such that can be passed to your frogs, they have thiaminase in them which can cause serious neurological problems and even death. You need to switch to either crickets, dubia roaches, or nightcrawlers ASAP.
    You can put 5-6 drops of honey in lukewarm TREATED water no deeper than the frog's chin and soak him in it for a bit to reduce the bloating.

    Will do the honey bath right now! I replied to monster about the temperature and food situation. Thank you for your guys' help!

    I would try night crawlers, they're cheap and easy to get. Just make sure they're undyed and not red wigglers. Just keep pushing them and crickets, they'll eat them. You really need to get the temps up though, that's the most important. Then you'll probably want to test the fecals for parasites after feeding goldfish. I would avoid the pinkie mice until they're bigger and also have the proper temperature to digest them. Also, pinkie mice should be a rare treat, not a big part of their diet.
    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"
