Anyone here feed aphids to their frog? I was thinking of culturing some, but can't find the website that had alot of information about aphids and fava bean plants. Would aphids be too small for my painted mantellas?

hi,
the problem with aphids that i have found is that they don't move enough to make my frogs eat them, i am having the same problem with floyr beetle larvae.

My frogs seem to think aphids are chocolate truffles! They love them. I grow broccoli in the garden just for the aphids.
