Worms??

[EagleWeaponX]

Hello there, 1 week ago i got a 2 month old albino pacman frog. I would get him some worms in the yard. But ill only find like 3 at a time. Now my aunt got me a green pacman frog thats 2 months old. Is it ok to get worms from a bait store??? If not where do i get mine from thats like the only option to crickets. Please help.

You shouldn`t be feeding worms "from the ground" due to the fertilizers and pesticides..... You can find nightcrawlers all over in different stores.

Check the sporting goods section of Wal-Mart. Make sure they are chemical scent and dye free. Also most Petsmart stores carry Night Crawlers. Cut them I. appropriately sized pieces before offering them to your frogs.

Yes, I think bait stores are fine.

It's kinda gross, but before feeding Walmart nightcrawlers to your pets, you'll have to grasp between two fingers the lower 1/3 of their body and squeeze their dirt-poop out. The dirt they're stored in inside the containers they eat as well, and I don't think it's healthy for frogs to ingest that.

You don't have to do that. The castings (poo) inside the worms actually have some good vitamins/minerals in them. I've fed Wal-mart nightcrawlers, DMF brand, to my reptiles for years and have never had problems. Just wash the dirt off the outside of the worm and you should be good.
