My frog managed to eat one earthworm with assistance, but after that he turned his nose up at them.
For some reason the vitamin powders burn the worms. I believe its due to one of the vitamins irritating the worms skin. this will happen pretty much every time, but the calcium powder doesn't harm them at all.

Your frog probably doesn't care fir the taste of the vitamins. This will happen depending on the frog. Some don't mind and others hate the vitamins, but they are usually a must to provide certain vitamins that they always seem to be lacking in their diet even with a varied one.

Try dusting the worms very lightly so their isn't as much vitamin taste on them.
