I could identify with that... I guess the only thing left to do is try it and then test the pupae to see how clean they are coming out of the culture bin. Then, see how they could be cleaned further if that proved necessary.
I can't speak for everyone but most keep frogs indoors in closed systems (either vivariums/terrariums or paludariums) - because you had mentioned setting up a colony "in my yard away from my frogs" but I get your point.
Thanks for the informative reply, I will pass your answer on and provide the link to your site. I will also set up a culture as soon as the weather permits.
You mentioned harvesting only the pre-pupae and then keeping them in stasis prior to feeding. What would keeping them in stasis accomplish? Are you trying to say it would make them "cleaner" somehow? One more thing, specifically how could pre-pupae be disinfected?
