    He ate a earth worm today but the weird thing is he keeps chewing at it after he swallows and makes this foamy noise and a little bit of foamy clear bubbly substance comes out. Is this normal? Doesn't sound appetizing to me.

    Haha yea this is normal. The "snot bubble" is from the mucus secreted by the earthworm. I laugh whenever that happens.

  4. This member thanks Namio for this post:

    Aw haha. you make it sound pleasant. Do you think my little froggie isn't going to eat earthworms because they secret this mucus?

    I don't think so. Unlike "redworms" (small reddish earthworms), when injured, do secrete those "smells" that frogs won't like. Canadian nightcrawlers are not known to make that unpleasant mucus/flavor which deters frogs.

    The nightcrawlers I am feeding him are from canada actually! He does get the mucus but maybe it isn't that horrible tasting. lol
