    Small update.

    The metronidazole treatments are done, so that is one medication out of the way, Dr Frye said 10-14 days, the frogs are doing very well so I will stop at 12. No more foul poops in days so I think we're safe on that front.

    I found a moth in my house.. pretty sure it's the waxmoth pupae I left on my window sill a few weeks ago, turned in to a waxmoth and became food lol.. I do wonder, wild moths, yay or nay? I turn on my porch light and it's moth city right now. I'm in farm country but not really close to a corn field where my house is. I've never fed wild insects to my frogs nor am I in any rush to but I just wonder what a moth could possibly carry that could harm a WTF?

    I actually got one of my frogs to eat a nightcrawler, kind of cool because I consider earthworms a top tier feeder and I know WTF tend not to go for worms. My "trick" to do it? Cut it in half, worms wriggling in agony seem to get them to move around enough to get WTFs attention.

    Wonderful news Michael! Can only imagine how happy you are.

    I wouldn't be feeding anything from outside, just in case, i kinda think you've had enough stress already
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Agree with Lija. I used to feed my Greys wild caught insects, but after several months of winter on captive bred insects, I've always been afraid to go back to wild caught. I'm afraid they will no longer have the immunities to fight off anything wc insects might bring in.

    Yeah I was just wondering if anyone did feed wild moths. My garden is 100% free of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, I have a lot of worms and sowbugs but I do not feed them to my frogs. think I may start breeding waxworms to get more waxmoths, the moths seemed to really excite my frog when I fed it.
