Its not that they have too much fat but that they are a much more nutrient dense food item. For example, a pinkie the size of an adult cricket weighs the same as 4-5 large adult crickets while an adult mouse has an equivalent weight to more than 100 adult crickets.
This makes it really easy to overfeed the frog when using rodents as a food source.
