They can, but I wouldn't recommend it. I have several snakes and frogs that are frog-eaters in the wild, and it's really not recommended to feed frogs/tads except as a last resort for a non-eater. They can carry pretty heavy parasite loads.

Also, it's rare, but EBTs can catch ranavirus from frogs. It's fatal in the span of a couple days, and most typically happens when the turtle is in an area with a high frog population. I doubt you'd run into this, but it's scary enough that I'd personally avoid it.
