Introducing Peppermint

[GrifTheGreat]

Don't panic about the horror stories unless one actually happens to your frog. Do your best to prevent such occurrences.

Fish should be sparingly Fed. once a month as a treat. Froglets too. Since they're coming from a clean source that you know then they are probably fine.
Prime works well as a de-chlorinator. As a matter of fact one of the breeders here on the forum swears by it.

Growth rate will vary depending on the gender of the frog, climate, substrate conditions, vitamins, calcium, amount of food and nutrition provided. Babies and juveniles can be Fed daily to every other day where as young adults and adults can be Fed every other day to every couple days.

Night Crawlers are very large worms that can be almost as big around as a finger and anywhere from 4" to 13" in length. Red Wigglers are usually small no longer than 3" and not very big around. The containers they're in should say what type of worm they are. If you like post some pics of the worms and we will help determine what kind they are.

prime...is the best ive been useing it for years on all my frogs and it dose the job

Thanks for the advise Grif!

I've got an ID on the worms. It's Perionyx excavatus. They actually use it as composting worm and not for feeding. It has a sort of blue sheen under the white light.
Although they are sold as composting worms, are they safe to use on amphibians?

Thanks Locascio, I've been using Prime for quite some time too. But mainly for my fish tanks. Since it can double its function to be used for my frog as well, that is just perfect!

I'm not sure. I would assume they were safe. I tried to find information about using them as a feeder, but couldn't to find any.

I better not risk it and stay away from the blue worms. Shall continue my search for night crawlers then.

One last question, and this is actually from my girlfriend.
Approximately how old is Peppermint at 1.5"?

Peppermint left me another "package" this morning. I didn't poop for a week. And then took 2 dumps in 2 days.
Still I'm glad it is healthy!
