That is not a smart idea because why not just feed pinkies because mice are actually more fattening then frogs, frogs have more bones then guts. Also, frogs wont feed them forever and when you want to change to rats at one point, your stuck on tree frogs and im sure it will take about 6 frogs to fill an adult cornsnake. Are the frogs WC? Do you breed them? If you do, take up breeding mice and rats.

How old are the corns? Baby corns eat frogs pretty regularly in the wild, but adults pretty much only eat rodents. If you want to get rid of your frogs, trade the corns for some eastern hognose snakes. They are very pretty, and amphibians make up the bulk of their natural prey. They are less popular in the hobby because they usually won't switch to rodents, but if you're up to your ears in frogs they'd be perfect.
