    Smile Better Food Than Mice

    I would think feeding Anoles to Horned Frogs would be a better idea than mice. Has ay one tried this. If you could get them for a reasonable price.

    The problem you run into there is that most anoles you can buy are WC and could contain any number of parasites. If you had a good source for CB ones then I would say go for it personally. You could always freeze the WC ones for atleast 30 days to reduce risk but I would be hesitant still.

    I thought they were captive bred at least the American Anoles.

    Nah its my understanding that most, if not all are WC. They are very prolific in the wild and the south is covered with them. Its one of those cases where its much more cost effective to snag them from the wild rather than try to breed and incubate eggs.
