    Personally I would feed wax worms instead of mealworms. I have read that Meal Worms can eat through the lining of the frogs stomach. I am not sure how true this is, but for me its a better safe then sorry thing!

    Since your WTF is going to be active at night, sometimes night lighting will affect how much they move around.
    Just make sure he/she has a place to soak that is not over her head and the water changed daily, you feed a staple of crickets that are no longer then the distance between his/her eyes, and you provide plenty of higher up places to perch and sleep. Bromeliads and Snake Plant are great choices for this.

    The glass bowl feeding method works well since you can monitor how much he/she is eating and how often.
    You should also calcium dust the crickets at least two to three times a week.

    If your frog is in a high traffic area, think about a more quiet location since unfamiliar or loud noises may cause them to shy away from being more active.

    That's the giant meal worms or super worms as they are called. Meal worms can bite but the regular small ones usually can't do any real damage like the super worms can.
