European nightcrawlers are a no. However, Canadian and African nightcrawlers are safe. I feed my own frogs Canadian nightcrawlers.

canadian nightcrawler ( dew worm) is a "big brother" of european nightcrawler known as earthworm. same species but differ in size. Both go by same scientific name Lumbricus terrestris.
both are perfect food for pixie, canadian are better because of the size, bigger pixie would rather eat bigger ones
you are probably mixing them with red wigglers Eisenia fetida, they produce odor that most frogs hate and if tried once will most likely never go for them again.

i would not be mixing with red wigglers,would they be fine by them selfs also i have a half and half tank setup and the filter isn't strong enough any idea what filter may work good?

i know meal worms can cause impaction but are super worms fine?

[Lija]

superworms have less chitin in their shell, but still can cause an impaction, of course if you give a superworm to a big male he won't get impacted, but for a baby you better not risk it.

Superworms will not cause impaction. The founder of this forum (John Clare) has even stated he has never seen any cases of mealworms even causing impaction. He pubically announced this in 2009, on this forum.

Lija your advise is always spot on. This subject though, I have to disagree. There's no fun in it if everyone always agrees right?
