The best thing would probably be store bought crickets. Then you can bge quite sure they don't carry any parasites. You can also feed them night crawlers. I don't really know how much you of the food from out doors you should feed them, but wait for some more answers.

Unless you live in the open area, with little/no close neighbors, the rule of thumb is always NO on found insects. Even if you are not spraying pesticides, a neighbor might and the crickets/spiders whatever can easily make it to you before it dies. Such poison can accumulate in your frog and cause death, beware.
