Ok, ive heard of some mad things on this feeder forums, like feeding deceased kittens to snakes, but you all know froglets right? A fully developed frog but only a few centimetres long as it only just become a proper frog. Could these be fed to a lizard if calcium dusted? it would be a good imvestment as we got millions in our pond at the moment.

I don't know how they stack up nutrition-wise, or toxin-wise, but they are vertebrates, which mean they come under the same heading as feeding live mice etc to reptiles. It's a very grey area as to whether or not it's actually legal, and is frowned upon by the majority of people involved with reptiles in the UK.

As with all WC feeders, there's the risk of bioaccumulation of toxins / pesticides, as well as the possibility of them carrying parasites. Depending on the species, if they are native UK wildlife, they may well be protected by law against deliberate killing - and feeding them to a pet would constitute killing them...

With the dangers animals such as Frogs and Toads are facing i'd have thought anyone with a brain would be against feeding them to a lizard just for the sake of it, ie when perfectly good other food would be available.

fungal disease, anyways, i only really came on here for your opinions, i always knew froga and toads have some sort of biotoxin, and i was against the whole idea, it would just be convient at the time of year though, for some reason all my crickrts seem to dies of quickly around summer, it may be the heat.

Could they? Yes

Would it be good for your lizard? No probably not

Should you do it? Definately not as long as the lizard will eat anything else leave the poor endangered frogs alone.
