>>All of the above is true, but still a very poor choice in feeod fro frogs. If you are going to feed them meat, then I would suggest whole prey items like chic peeps and pinky mice. Frogs however do not do real well with alot of mammal protiens, thus the reason they should only be fed those items sparingly.

Pinkies are high in fat content, so it may not be very good. Protein is protein, whether it comes from mammals, insects or plants. The protein will be digested and turned into amino acids by the frog's stomach so I won't worry about feeding meat to frogs. Pet foods often are in part made from plant material, but the protein content is high so dogs and cats can thrive on these. The main concern is lack of calcium. There isn't any calcium in meat, and not much of it in insects either. Pinky mice is a good source of calcium, but it may be too high in fat content to be given as a steady diet.
