Crickets fight back

[Whistly]

Hi earlier today I put a cricket in with my frogs after a few mins it decided to walk up to one of the ferns BIG mistake number one, all 3 of my frogs were there and they were watching it the moment it hit the ground. It stopped then walked again BIG mistake two Camo lunged grabbed it by the abdomen perfect place to hold it took about 10 seconds to get it down to just the head remaining but unfortunately this is where the life saving factor came in to play. The cricket was on it's back and decided to fight back it bent it's head down and bit Camo's nose which Camo wasn't expecting and the shock on Camo's fae was priceless but unfortunately it did this a few times so Camo spat it out and it went flying through the air. Now Camo is terrified of crickets.

The purpose of this is to ask is it safe for me to feed crickets to my frogs or will they fight back too much?

Thanks Luke

which type of frogs do you have btw???

crickets are a common food for frogs. dont think he is scared of him but u could try him on some woodies (roashes) i havnt heard that woodies aint high in protein so i dont see why frogs cant have them on a daily bases

Hi Froggiestlye thanks for the reply.
I have 3 Green and Golden Bell frogs all of them are about 4 months old. My frog Camo is the biggest so far at 3.2cm and the cricket was 2cm. Normally my 2nd biggest frog who I haven't been able to measure yet but I can see is smaller takes on crickets nearly 3cm and wins.

By woodies/roashes do you mean woodlice(sorry diffrent country diffrent names)? If you do I have a colony set up in the enclosure which is their staple diet I know that their shells are high in calcium which is good. I throw in 3 crickets and leave them and when all 3 have been eaten I put another 3 in sometimes theyhave lasted a week with only one eaten so I put them back in with the other crickets. Yesterday I saw a pair of crane flys and thought those would be easy food it took about 5 mins of jumping up high to eventually get one but then Tim Tam came out of nowhere flying through the air and grabbed the other on Tim Tam is about 2.5cm.

ok nice man i have 3 of my own as well and they only 3 n a half months old.

they are only marsh frogs, but have a tank setup for brown tree's and i really cant find some anywhere unless i travel miles haha.

man they go HARD on crickets they love these things they have no worries in the world in catching crickets these crickets are only around 1.5cm in length.

one of my marsh frogs is only 1.6cm in length and the other 2 are about 2.1cm in length.

my girlfriend also called them mermit 1, 2, 3 lol stupid huh

Lol silly names.
Speaking of Brown Tree frogs (Whistling Tree frogs) I thought my frogs were Whistlers (hence my nickname) because the shop had labeled them wrong, but Ebony set it straight. I thought that you could have gotten Browns easily being a native and all, they originate from SE Australia and Tasmania so you could probably find some wild if you live there.
What's a marsh frog? Perhaps a photo please.
