well

Tarantulas will eat things. sometimes they will not eat things. This is something you will have to find out for yourself.

However, I know a man who fed his Trinidad Chevron a treefrog, and it ceased to eat anything BUT treefrogs. So all things come with their price.

Also take into consideration that those things (Usually toads, but you're better safe than sorry =p) can have venom glands that they use whenever they're attacked

hehehe

It will probably eat a frog, but like someone mentioned earlier, it might just only take frogs after that, and that to me, would be a pain in the butt. Now if you have a good supply of parasite free frogs, then you could go for it, but they seem much more expensive then crickets, and the ocassional pinkie mouse!
