Yes it should be varied as much as you can, but red meat, such as rodents, is too fatty. It should be given very sparingly, if at all. They don't need it. They do much better on invertebrates, especially roaches.

Those all have different attributes to them. The rodents and chicks are too fatty, and hard to digest by the frog. The chicks, if not free ranged, carry the possibility for salmonella. They could give your frog salmonella poisoning as well as other things. The lizard carries parasites that can and may get spread to the frog, being as they're insectivorious. The most commonly found pet trade lizards, as well as cheapest, are Anoles, Iguana's, and Savannah Monitors....none of these are bred with any regularity in captivity to supply the demand for them, so majority are CH or WC, therefor they carry the possibility to spread those various parasites to the frog. Not worth it, plain and simple...

Your preaching to the wrong person on that. Although they have the capacity to eat, digest, and process those very large prey items, it isn't necessary in any way, shape or form. All your pictures show your animals being gorged with a very large rodent for their size. How is that limiting what your feeding them? As well as that, how is it even necessary?

Its as normal as feeding a snake a rodent or a chicken, or a lizard a rodent or a chicken.
Nothing unusual about it for wild animals to feed on them, but here's the difference. Your doing it to captive animals. You have every resource available to you to offer a healthy, risk free, varied diet with more than enough nutrients, proteins, fats, fatty acids, calcium and other variables that they need. Why risk the Savannah monitor injuring the frog, or vice versa? You risk the spread of parasites and other nasties that could jeopardize your collection and others that you sell to; as well as injuring your animals. To you, it may be normal...but you're showing it to other reptile enthusiasts. In my opinion its pretty low...

A varied diet is always best.
All your images of them feeding, show them eating rodents. Why not post them eating a much healthier diet? Worms, Grubs, Roaches, Crickets, etc... Not very wise, Ed.
