What happened to these worms? (european nightcrawlers looking all messed up)

For your toad, maybe the worm left a bad taste with her and you might want to try something else. My Garter snake once stopped eating slugs for 2 month when it regurgitated a large slug. After a couple weeks of feedings on worms it went back to eating slugs again.

I hope so! She stuck her tongue out but missed when I was dumping the worms (took her with me for some sunshine, fresh air, and exercise), then ate one roach. That's been it. For about 5 days, one roach, and some skin (shed).
So today I set my adult crickets free. Even tho there were only 8, the boys in the group haven't shut up since they matured. Right around the time she stopped eating. Small apt so maybe it was bothering her. If I was always smelling cake but never got any, I'd get kinda mad after a while. Long shot, but they were annoying me, too. Saved the dirt cup I'd given them to lay eggs in, but let them go. Auditory relief.
