can you feed small frogs large crickets?

[Lija]

adult crickets have harder shell that is more difficult to digest for babies, harder to swallow too, no point to crush a head, if to tong feed then go for nightcrawlers pieces, they are way better to digest and more nutritional and healthy! also some babies got scared seeing big crickets
same principle apply to pixies.

Yes that is true in my frogs poop all i find when i feed crickets is heads and shells but it does make it easier for them to get the cricket down with there heads crushed.

We usually offer the littlest pixies medium sized (1/2" - 3/4") crickets until they're close to 2.5" or 3", and then at that point they're eating 10 crickets or more each so we switch them to larges, which you don't need to feed as many of.
