And the wild frogs that end up eating the ones that are carrying something become sick and more then likely die. The death rate is way higher in wild frogs then frogs in captivity, this is one of the reasons why we try and take endangered species from the wild and try and breed them in captivity. So we can keep them away and safe from these things and other diseases, infections etc, so we can be successful in bringing the numbers back up. And I know I personally love my frogs and from all the time, effort and money I have sank into them IMO why take the chance, all it takes is one bad wild feeder to end it. And no I'm not trying to say that others don't love and take great care of there frogs, I'm just speaking from my point of view. I know there is a lot of other very passionate keepers out there and on the forum that care a whole lot about there little buddies. Like I always say, its your choice not mine.

Wild frogs should have a resistance, they always carry something but it doesn't harm them unless stressed and the immune system is then weaker. If we breed endangered species in sterile conditions then put them back in the wild they might not be able to deal. I've never fed sweepings before but I do know that a lot of experts do, especially the old timers to the hobby. Can understand about your view, though and it's something that hobbyists will differ on. Might start a poll about it
