Are you asking if you can just throw a bunch on feeders in the tank?

as long as they are quarantined should be fine but I would leave the frog out of there until the rbps are bigger (close to adults size), unless the frog is very small that they can consume in one meal. remove any left over other wise your water parameters will get bad fast.
also a 3ft tank will be too small for 6 rbps, maybe ok for now (no idea how big they are now) but for sure not enough when they are adults. minimum you'll need a 75 gallon tank (4ftx1.5ft footprint) when they are adults

Save the frog, amphibians are slowly disappearing in the wild

Are we talking dwarf frogs like the $1 ones at the pet shop or wild frogs? Drives me nuts that theres no limit and no licence needed to hunt frogs here..

Quarantine? I did not quarantine my feeder. i just let it be with the rbp, whenever they hungry they hunt. Any harm to my rbp ?

Their could be. If you don't quarantine, the feeders could be carrying something.
