Because of their reliance on water, it could be difficult to get truly reliably clean frogs, even in a captive breeding colony. You will always be at the mercy of the initial source, even generations removed. Even if from a captive colony, I would always freeze frogs for 30 days at below 0 F, and preferably at -20 F. That is about as clean as you will get.
