    Dubia roaches are a good choice. Nutritious, especially when gut-loaded. Breeding them in huge numbers is also easy. Tobacco Hornworms, also good.

    If you could find a frog species you could actually breed, remove the eggs as soon as they are laid, and raise them in a snail-free environment (snails being a major intermediate host for a lot of the usual parasites), you could use those. However, using anything wild caught is a bad idea. Some people may have not had frog deaths doing it once or twice, but it is very irresponsible.

    It is best to stick to larger insects. Much safer. They eat a lot of amphibians in the wild, but by no means are they obligate amphibian feeders.

    I don't think I'll use feeder frogs, even if Tony and Justin are right. I just don't want to run any risk of something happening to my frog.
