    Default Is It Just Me But I Was Told Red Wriggers" Don't Cut It."

    I made the mistake of buying red wrigglers for FROG and he didn't like the way they tasted. Are there two kinds of red wrigglers?

    Red wigglers secrete a foul mucous when injured. Many frogs will refuse them. Mine do also. Try some yummy earthworms .

    Red worms and Red Wigglers are different, but one is just a larger form than the other. Both are composting worms and both types secrete a foul mucus that both smells and tastes bad.

    Step 1 - Go fishing with RWs as bait. Step 2. Get night crawlers and feed them, hoping the frog will not associate NCs with RW's bad taste. Good luck !
