bought mini mealworms

[Necromencer]

mealworms do tend to have a hard exoskeleton which may not be the best thing to feed a frog! I bought a bunch of mealworms once and I did as follows:

When you find malted mealworms (soft and white), feed the frogs with these. For extra precaution, you can take off the head and scrape out the black gunk that you may find. You can feed them directly, but if you want to be as safe as possible, I would wait for malted worms and take their heads off.

Other tips:

Feed the mealworms healthy food to 'gutload' them. Fresh vegetables will do
Keep the mealworms healthy and in good condition
If you have a sterilized floating object/toy/wood, you can put a mealworm on top of it and watch the frogs work for their food. I do this with a small piece of driftwood I am soaking in the tank. I believe it stimulates the frogs more than always being handfed.

Even the mini ones? I'm talking about super fine, thin guys that feel pretty squishy to the touch.
