    I just found a post on here by the same fella too. http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...ly-larvae.html

    Now, what if you have a frog that will hand feed and take non-moving prey? Could they eat a poked Soldier fly larvae and digest it? Both Honey and Shirley have taken non-moving wax worms from my fingers on a couple of different occasions, so wondered if they'd to the same for these things? I'm not trying that with sHEila yet since he's on a fast for his prolapse, but I'm sure by the time he's done he'll want to gobble up everything! Actually I still need to medicate them on Sunday, so he'll be getting one wax worm then...
    Mom to these fine frogs!

    There are just a few of the threads, there are more. I do not think it'd hurt to try it, just why most frog owners tend to stay away from them. If you can get earthworms, that'd be a great option for your babies. Very easily digestible with some of the issues they've had

    I certainly think so too. Well I'll get some from Josh's if I can't round them up locally then. Will go read those links, thanks!

    If it weren't so warm in this apartment I'd culture my own worms too! http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatre.../#.VG_BlsmRPw0
