Baby bullfrog growing fast.

I have heard that you should not feed meal or morio worms to frogs due to their hard chitin shells but is it ok to feed them ones that have just shed and are still white because their shell is soft. I only ask because he loves mealworms. I think they're his favourite food because he always pounces straight onto them so it would be a shame to take them out of his diet.

We have had some debate on using morio worms (commonly called superworms in the US) here before. Mealworms contain more chitin than morio worms, so I do not use them. I use morio worms every once and awhile, not as a staple, but to mix up the diet. If you want to use them, do so sparingly. That of course is just my opinion, and others will advise against it. Also I would suggest waiting until your frog is bigger to start using them again. The chances of impaction are greater when the frog is a juvenile.

There are quite a bit of other choices you have as far as feeders. Do you have access to silkworms in the UK? Earthworms are a very good staple along with B. Dubia as well.

Edit: you beat me to it Matthew. =)

Yes we do but they're hard to find in stores. My local pet store called Dragons Den sells Brown Crickets, Black Crickets, Locusts, Waxworms, Butterworms, Pachnoda Grubs, Bean Wevils, Fruit Flys, Calci-Worms, Mealworms, Morio Worms, Lob Worms, Dendrobaena Worms and Dubia Roaches. Which out of these do you think are best. I currently feed him earthworms, Waxworms, just shed Mealworms(white ones), Dubia roaches, crickets and locusts. The Waxworms and mealies are just treats though.

You are doing just fine. Your pet is lucky to have you. =)

Edit: I would probably swap out the mealworms for butterworms as a treat. Butterworms are very high in calcium.

Thank you for that I like to know that I'm taking good care.
