Myself and the family have been running through the idea of keeping animals for food and are pretty set on Rabbits as my Nan used to do it and got a fair amount of meat for practically no food lay out.
But, I'm into nature and wildlife and have a big pond in the garden for frogs and dragonflys (the kids love to watch them), by we homed some fish in it that a friend couldn't look after and they eat all the frogspawn, so this year I put half of it in my water buts and now have 100's of tadpoles that will start to become frogs soon and we have thought about breeding them for food in another pond with a cover on it...anyone ever heard of people doing this successfully?
It's just one of those weird things that come to you after watching Edward chewing on a frog or two in the jungle.

Never ate frog, but its a popular cajun dish. Dont know much about frogs im afraid, but would imagine there easy enough to look after and you could feed them the odd bit off bloodworm and theyll hopefully see off any snails/slugs.also tadpoles when they have legs will eat scraps of ham/bacon

This is one of those "yuck" moments. Would you feel better about eating frogs if I told you that only their legs were eaten and the frogs were alive when they were cut off?? Thought not!

Make sure the tadpoles are out of the waterbutt soon. When they get legs they need platforns to climb up, otherwide they drown.
In regard to eating frogs, not certain, but I think only certain species can be farmed and eaten. Best to double check.

You don't have to eat 'em. Use them for barter instead
