    That's an interesting idea, but I personally don't think you should attempt it. Even though force feeding your frog may not be the most pleasant thing in the world, you have to do what you have to do to make sure your frogs are nice and healthy. Best of luck in treating your frogs!

    See that's the thing though, they eat great, I don't have to force feed them. I was looking for alternates instead of forcing the liquid medication down their gullets. The vet said if injecting the med into the worm was successful, and they would eat the worm, that it would be ok to do it that way. I just have no idea if I can find wax worms small enough for my tiniest frog (all WTFS) and how to inject the med into the worm... I did ask him about applying the medication topically to their backs (like someone else here did) but he didn't recommend that way.
    Mom to these fine frogs!
