    Default Earthworm twice the size of toad's mouth OK?

    Hello,


    I can't seem to find any small earthworms.

    I can buy some that are more then twice the size of my toads' mouths.

    Isn't that too big?

    I hear earthworms are great for them though and I can't find smaller.

    ...I can get smaller 'red wigglers' but are those good for them?


    Thank you,

    Sigmoo.

    I think you're right. If the worm is too long you can cut it in half, but if its too wide/thick its a no-go. Some frogs/toads won't eat worms after trying a red wiggler, so be careful with those.

    Like Bryce said, if the worm is too long, just cut it in half. Now you have 2 worms!

    And I can say from experience that red wigglers are no good. I don't know why pet stores bother carrying them, some kind of critter must enjoy them. But I tried feeding them to one of my toads, and she hated it, and actually ran away and hidwhenever she would see one after that!

    Earthworms / nightcrawlers are great though. The 2 toads I currently have love them.

    My Woodhouse's toads will eat them, actually. They don't seem to care about the taste. They're not picky eaters lol. I don't chance them with my other frogs, and *
    I have had othe frogs eat(or try to eat) one and then then never consider eating one again.
