    Hum... hard question Lady of the Lake! Earthworms feel pain as a local negative stimuli to retreat from a danger; not as a suffering like humans do. That is because earthworm brains don't have the higher development required for processing painful stimuli.

    Lucky for me, my frogs take them whole. I do have decapitated pinced worms in the past and never liked it. Recommend an extremely sharp blade and swiftness to get it over as promptly as possible .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Hi Carlos,
    Hope you're well!
    This is pretty much what I gathered from surfing around online.
    Right, sharp scissors and move quickly... poor things
