    Sounds good, but I don't think the parasites came from the night crawlers. Crickets yes, but not so much the night crawlers. They can carry parasites like any other living creature, but you usually don't infect your frog by feeding them chemical and dye free worms. Anything is possible.

    I asked him that, Grif. He said any living thing can harbor parasites. I guess that's true, but I think the chances of a nightcrawler having them is pretty low. I'm going to continue with nightcrawlers only and see what happens. Orion goes for another treatment in two weeks then another fecal exam to see if anythings left.

    If he comes up positive again then I'll switch to a different brand of nightcrawlers and see what happens. Hopefully these parasites are not hindering him too badly!
