if you live in an area where neither you nor your neighbors use pesticides on there lawns or plants then you may be alright to feed them to your frogs. it is best if you catch them worms and put them in a container with fresh soil, not from your yard, and some leaf liter, decompossing wood/bark, old veggies for 2-3 days. then they should have worked any harmful toxins out of their systems and be safe to eat. if it is any comfort, i do this for my firebellies and other amphibians and have never had a fatality or illness come about from it, though i could also just be lucky. if you follow the above instruction you should be okay though.
