    Thank you! I'll change from Meal Worms to the Nightcrawlers. How easy are they to get during the fall/winter months? Any other ways to get my Pacman back to being interested in Crickets? He does chase them when they are in his cage

    Local pet stores that carry nightcrawlers will have them all year. You're best buy may lies in the hands of WalMart. In California, I get them for 3.25 +tax for 20 large there (compare to $4+tax for a dozen at local pet shops). Make sure you purchase the undyed nightcrawler at Walmart, though.

    I am not sure why your frog lost its interest in crickets. Perhaps that was just a temporary thing? Or you frog had outgrown even the largest crickets around?

    Great advice on nightcrawlers. I would suggest superworms when the frog is older, as they contain far less chitin but I would suggest that you feed more crickets and nightcrawlers than superworms.
    Tong feeding could be an option with crickets.

    They do get bored with food items occasionally so you have to switch it up to keep them interested and its very beneficial for the frog to have a varied diet.

    Bruce Namio , and Ra have you covered.
