However, looking in the tank later in the day, it does look like they passed through them pretty much undigested, which I'm really unhappy about, since, on paper, they looked like a really good food source.
Do your frogs hand feed? I read that it was recommended to pierce the skin in a couple places to allow the digestive juices of the frog to do a better job breaking them down. Mine take wax worms by hand, and I have to stick those with a needle and inject them with medication before I feed them, so wondered if that would work for these other things? I also notices that wax worm skin seems to pass right through my guys... but they have loose stool due to the coccidiosis anyway so who knows.
