Chinese market stuff?

[boosh96]

My dad and I visited a Chinese market the other day, which was quite the interesting field trip, and I saw a bunch of whole smelt and shrimp and live crawfish and stuff. My question is, would a live crawdad or thawed shrimp/smelt be okay for my Budgett's frog? I figure a crawdad or shrimp would probably be a pretty nutritious whole prey item, but I guess I'm concerned about how my frog's system would deal with the hard shell and stuff. I feel like it would be a good idea to remove the claws and stuff from a crawfish as well. And I'm wondering about the salt content of the shrimp or smelt. Basically I'm thinking that it could either be very good or very bad for my frog. Any thoughts?
