Snakes are pigs!!!! They will keep eating and you can easily overfeed them so just be careful!!! There are many threads on here about feeding so have a good read on the different opinions and adjust that to your situation!
Also if you've got newspaper in your enclosure how do you think it ate a rock???

Change it to rocks the frogs can't eat. Don't use paper!!! The frog should pass the rock.

[Adam]

[richboy89]

[Adam]

They will stop when they are full.

 

[richboy89]

cool because on of mine frogs looks real full coz he ate like 5 medium cocroches (dono how to spell) is that to much.

It may not pass the rock, it can cause compaction problems. You can use paper towel for substrate. Some Green Trees will stop eating, a lot wont and you have to monitor how much you give them, it will also depend on the age of the frog. Make sure you remove any rocks that are to small.

From http://frogs.org.au/arc/caresheets.html


Adults will eat almost anything that moves and fits in their mouth, they should be
offered about 10-20% of their own body size in food spread over 2-3 feeds each week.

As frogs absorb through their skin I wouldnt use newspaper(ink) or paper towels (bleach)I would just use rocks or I believe shpagnum moss is ok too.
