I'm pretty sure you can feed them large crickets from day 1, their mouths are so big that smaller sized crickets just seem like a waste of money....

it is not the size of their mouth, but the size of their stomachs. small pacmans are capable of consuming large crickets, but only one or two in a sitting. it would be bette to fed them medium crickets in the 1/2-3/4" range until your frog is about 1 1/2" in size. don't forget to feed variety, earthworms, redworms, mealworms, phienox worms, flour bettles, rosie reds, mollys, swords, neons, and other small soft bodied fish are excellent sources of nutrition for your frog.
