    Most pet stores carry them too.

    All of the pet shops and things around town just carry those enormous super meal worms.... Only place to find nightcrawlers is the bait shop. Do you think they would be safe to feed to my frogs? I don't think a whole lot goes into raising worms.

    My Bullfrogs love the bait shop worms... but crickets must be like crack... cause they take those first... My tree frogs think moth's are the most fun to catch... my whites run after them straight up the glass and leap to catch them... they say live caught bugs might have poison from fertilizers and pestisides... which are bad for the frogs..

    Ah, awesome- this is good to know. Think i'm going to run by the bait shop later tonight for some midnight snacks. I wish I could get my hands on moth larva. I have an assortment of plant seeds that caterpillars eat from when I used to raise exotic butterflies.

    Just ask if they are dye free. Some of the worms can be dyed to make them look tastier to fish and it is't so good for frogs.

    Walmart sells nightcrawlers and they are fine to feed with.
