They aren't favorite foods (he actually hates black soldier fly larvae, to my great dismay, and mealworms are barely tolerated). Do you think it's still worth trying a worm dispensing device in this case?
Hi..I wouldn't...mealworms are fine as a treat, esp for lizards, but they tend to cause problems when fed regularly to amphibs, esp. intestinal blockages; they are hard to digest, lots of chitin, and not very good, nutritionally. Horned frogs do well on earthworms (tong feed or move animal to bare-bottomed feeding tank), roaches, some crickets. Minnows and shiners, and occasional pink mice, are impt as calcium sources..please see this article and let me know if you need anything, enjoy, Frank
