BTW keeping rodents in your snake room isn't a bad idea. Feeding mice to your Pac Man frog is a bad idea. At least, making mice the main source of food could be bad.

Here's some info I got out of my Horned Frog Book.

Until recently, it was thought that mice were a good diet for adult horned and African bullfrogs. However, in recent years, many frogs fed a diet largely or entirely of mice have developed corneal lipid opacities, which, at their most serious, have resulted in the blindness of the frogs. This problem is now being seen with increasing frequency and, until it is fully uinderstood, would suggest that a diet of low-fat insects, worms, and fish, with only the inclusion of a very occasional mouse(if any) is better for the frogs.
