    I've heard that you can use night crawlers as a staple so I would assume that you could use red wigglers which are a type of earth worm as a staple. You would have to dust them though as they won't contain enough vitamins and calcium to sustain your frogs needs.

    What type of pacman do you have. They do get fed up with the same food. Wigglers are great dusted. Yes you can feed them as a staple,with the occasional insect,and wax worm.

    Congrtulations! You have a Ceratophrys Cranwelli. Nice one too. Try hornworms or dubia cockroaches.

    The issue could be that your frog is just having trouble catching the crickets. If you damage the crickets jumping hind legs by crushing the knee or just remove the hind legs completely it makes the crickets much slower and easier for you frog to catch. Try doing this and see if it works before switching staples.

    He's a nicely colored brown Cranwelli. If you live him alone with the crickets he wont eat them. Some are not chasers. Some are lazy and will wait for ever for a cricket to come to their nose so they can eat them.
