    It seems that night crawlers are the same as the rainworm, as we call it.

    Nightcrawlers, earthworms, rainworms...........pretty much the same thing.
    We avoid the red wigglers because our frogs don't like them.
    Your variety is great!

    Should never be fed to your frog until it reaches 2.5 inches in length. when feeding mice use pinkies. They're easier to digest because they don't have hair. Feed them no more than one per month it every 2 months no more than that.

    once a month is ok.. but they are unnecessary. I have breeders who have never had a mouse or rat and breed just fine.

    Thanks. I was just asking for an opinion of people who keep them for a longer time already.
    I'm not intending to feed them anyway as I think the frogs will get too fat and could get health problems if fed on pinky's too often. Also I think it will shorten thier lifespan. Am I corect?

    If fed too often yes it will shorten the life span as well as cause health issues like liver and kidney failure and blindness.
