The contact with the two nocturnal frog species was facilitated by a warm spring rain shower that took place just at the sunset. The captured amphibians were deposited separately according to the species, in plastic buckets with little water. After about an hour the collecting of amphibians was stopped and started stomach content sampling. These were obtained by using the stomach flushing method (Sóié et al. 2005). Afterwards, the amphibians were released into the sectors in wich were captured. The samples were preserved individually in airtight test tubes containing a 4 % formaldehyde solution and subsequently analysed in the laboratory.
