Am I overfeeding my pacman frog?

What state do you live in? Do they have fishing in your state? If they don't have fishing, move.

They probably use earth worms rather than night crawlers.. Are there any confirmed cases of impaction from superworms? Arent they suppose to eat other type of insects in the wild? How will superworms affect them? Any experts mind to clarify this? =)

Here is a quote from John, the forum admin on his take on mealworms, which have even more chitin. or a "hard shell" than superworms. I'm not suggesting at all you constantly use superworms, but if you do not have anything on hand at the time, they will not kill your animal. Like everyone else had suggested, I would look into other feeders to use as a main food source.

I don't believe in them causing impaction. I've yet to see a solid piece of evidence for it or even an anecdote from anyone with a reputation. It makes no sense to me that animals (frogs) that are designed to eat chitin-rich food (mealworms) should have a problem passing it. The one thing I do know about mealworms and the like is that the guts of younger frogs sometimes are not able to break through the exoskeleton before the worm is passed out of the digestive tract. So occasionally they can pass whole mealworms or partially undigested mealworms.

I've never had a problem either...
