    I researched and asked and it was the general consensus that it was ok to feed frozen frogs. If there is still a risk please let me know.
    Freezing does not destroy chytrid, it thrives under cool conditions and is able to survive being frozen. Treating the frogs for chytrid before freezing is probably the safest way to go, though heating the (pre-killed) frogs before feeding may also be sufficient, bringing them up to a temperature of 120 degrees and holding it there for half an hour or so should do the trick.

    Here is some info on chytrid.
