I recently caught a few army worms and fed my toad two of them as a treat.
But on the third one something was moving on the inside so i cut it open to find around ten to thirteen wasp larvae moving about.
Should I be concerned about the wasp larvae harming my toad (if there were any in the previously fed caterpillars)? Or would he be able to digest the little creeps.
Thanks
I think it should be ok after all it's just like feeding your toad a mealworm it will be digested by the stomach acid.
That's my opinion but I'm in no way an expert.
I wouldn't worry about it. Meal worms are a very tough "food item" and can easily chew through palstic, cardboard, skin, etc. And they are safe to feed to amphibians because they have a very strong stomach acid, that kills them quickly.
I don't think the grubs, and larvae are cause for concern.
Thanks
Think of it as a treat inside a treat Lol!![]()
