Does anyone use night crawlers aso a staple food for their WTF? I used them for my pac and just assumed I'd use them for my whites. Then I realized I don't see many people on here using them. If it's not a good staple could you recommend something besides crickets. The pet store near me doesn't have small crickets and the next closest one is 20-20 minutes away. TIA!
Night crawlers are an excellent staple (so long as you're using supplements) for WTF's. I do not have any tree frogs willing to eat them, if I did, that's what I would use as a staple!
2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"
0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"
Most whites for some reason don't like night crawlers, that's why people rarely using them, but if you can get yours to eat it, by any means, that's one of the foods.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
I believe that giving mine crawlers helped him develop a protozoa infection, but unless you get a bad crawler they're nutritious staple foods. Most frog owners just don't like having to cut the big ones down to size.
feeding nightcrawlers has nothing to do with Protozoa infection.

OK thanks! I just got 2 whites last night and I got them some night crawlers. Tried to tong feed a piece to them. They each jumped at a piece but didn't eat it Then I went back to Walmart and get red wigglers just plain earthworms. One of my little guys jumped at it but didn't eat it. Then I felt back because they were hungry and I didn't get crickets.... I hate crickets!
Get roaches, breed easily, no smell.

I thought about that too? Can you suggest a good, easy, cheapest way to get them?
Personally I get them in the mail from LLLReptile and keep them in a dark tupperware bin with mesh over a hole in the top. There are probably cheaper alternatives but I haven't found them. I'm trying to get mine to breed since they're too large for feeding right now, but no luck so far.
Also it's late, but don't get red wrigglers! My frog hated the taste so much he refused to take anything else from the tongs for a while after.
