Where To Buy Nightcrawlers?

[AKFROG]

I am interested in buying some night crawlers . You can't use live bait fishing in freshwater here. No one here in Juneau sells them.

You can buy some online

Can you find worms for vermicomposting for sale in Alaska? Red Wrigglers, Eisenia fetida, are a standard composting worm and also work for frog food.

Red Wrigglers work OK for aquatic frogs; but most terrestrial ones are put off by the foul tasting slime they make to the point of some frogs rejecting any earthworms later. Canadian or European Night Crawlers are a much better choice as feeders Brian .

Seems frog dependent to me, I do have a tree frog that goes at Red Wrigglers like he's got a vendetta against them.

Which raises the question, AKFROG, what species of frog are you looking to feed?

I have a 3 inch Horned Frog. We have earthworms here but I would be concerned about parasites. Can't buy any worms here.

If swallowed whole they don't get a chance to secrete their defense. As long as the frog is large enough to swallow Red Wigglers whole they will not rejects them.

I made the mistake of buying some Red Wrigglers from Petco here in Juneau. That's before I found out they taste bad to Horned Frogs. I'll check out various places on the computer that sell Night Crawlers.
