Is it okay for my 5 week old ducklings to eat frogs?

[Cayuga momma]

This might be a dumb question, but twice a week I bring my ducklings down to a small pond in the woods. They love digging through the mud and the yuck. They were 5 weeks old on July 11th.
They have been catching and eating frogs. I was just wondering if this is okay.
They are on non medicated chick starter with 18% protein.
They get a tablespoon of Nutritional yeasts to every cup of food.
I don't really give them alot of treats. Occasionally they get some cherry tomatoes.
They have plenty of grit. I mix chick grit with the larger chicken grit, because the share their coop with chickens right now.
Here is a pick of them in the pond.

Ducks are opportunist feeders and it's not unusual for them to eat frogs...mine free range and I catch them with the occasional mole or baby bird that has fallen from the nest

Thanks, I just wasn't sure with them being so young.

They are Ducks and if it moves and fits down the throat they eat it. It's all good and won't hurt them. Yummy Frogs..

Mine eat any frog they can catch and fit in their bill. If it doesn’t fit, they tear it into more manageable pieces.

Ugh, today my one duck has wet farts. It sounds like diarrhea should be coming out, but is just air. It doesn't stink, my face was pretty close for the 3rd fart.
Maybe his system is just getting use to frog?

Maybe, make sure he is pooping though.

Depends on your point of view. I'm sure the frogs don't encourage the practice.
