Right, dont know about whites, but dont see a problem with that.

Pac Man, yes they are fine to have waxies, I try not too offer them to mine to often as they can make them fat, i would say 1 or 2 a week at the most.

im sure someone else can help you for your whites

Anything can eat waxworms if they will take them, so both the frogs you mentioned are fine. They are addicitve tho so only feed a couple at a time and spread them out so that in total they only get 5 or so each a week if that and dependent on size.

Nope no need to cut of the head and doesnt mattor which end you fedd first.
