Mealworms as Stable diet

[FwoGiZ]

In the hunt for earthworms, you can also try looking into home composting setups. Red Wrigglers, Eisenia fetida, are commonly used for home composters. These worms do have foul tasting secretions though, some frogs won't go near them and some people claim trying red wrigglers put there frogs off worms completely (I've not had this experience though). Some frogs won't care and gobble them up happily like they're candy.



Whatever you believe about impaction, this pretty much covers my mealworm usage. I've kept a shoe box sized colony going for years with very little maintenance as a backup and also a bit of variety (always good).

That is the way to do it! Yup!
I breed over a dozen different feeders for my herp room and breeding earthworms is real easy indeed, I have red wrigglers (they're quite small..) and also european crawlers.

I believe that you can order those from the Govt (they'll ship by mail!) for composting reasons for good price! in Canada.

The only thing I'll never breed cause of how nasty it is are crickets.
I used to when I was a kid and lemme tell you, you need an exterior setup of some kinda warehouse or shed... somewhere you don't mind to have crazy stench ahah!!!
But so many feeders are so easy to care for...
