    the right side above the bump in the middle of the worm is where you don't want to cut.
    You want to cut from the other end that is to the left of the bump.

    And you want to stay way from red wigglers they excrete a nasty slime when injured and will make the frog not want to touch another worm.

    Night crawlers are the best IMO 0you can get them in walmarts in the sorting goods department. Make sure to get ones that are
    unscented and no dyes.

    I get mine from the local pet store.

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks for the heads up. Are the frogs likely to eat them whole?
    I will look for night crawlers though.

    Depends on the size of the worm and if the frogs are full grown adults. about 2inches STV
    The Canadian night crawlers I have been getting have been about 3 to 4 inches long when contracted.
    And can be up to 6 in when they stretch out.

    So I would start with 1 inch pieces and feed as much as they will eat in 10 min. piece by piece.
