All Glory to the Hypnotoad

In the US you can buy earthworms from Walmart for about $3 for 20 (varies a bit with the part of the country). Look in the Sports and Outdoors section. You can also get them in places like Academy. Walmart sometimes sells waxworms too.

I wasn't quitesure about wal-mart, but if you think they would have relativly worry free worms for my pet I'll have to trust you.

I've used them for years. There are some in my fridge right now.

The Walmart here in Frankfort, KY sells night-crawlers, 24 per container and I've used them for years without issue.

I recently purchased a pacman from LLL reptile, but have had no issues with it eating a variety of foods. I haven't fed it any mice yet, but mine seems to love crawdads...Eats the heck out of them. It eats about every other day and I try and give it different foods on a weekly basis, but nightcrawlers are it's primary staple.

Hi:

The PetSmart and Petco around here selsl nightcrawlers (Upstate NY). Besides the poor nutrition value of mice, and the possibility of lipid deposits, you also run the risk of the mouse if live, injurying your frog.

A good staple diet would be nightcrawlers, my PacMan however seems somewhat intimidated by there size, and goes for a step down in size and will eat Red Wigglers.
Both worms would be a good staple diet, with the introduction or crickets, roaches, supermealworms, etc to offer a variation in diet.

I have fed bait shop & WalMart nightcralwers to my African Bullfrog with no ill side effects. Most of these places get there stock from "worm farms" the same as the pet stores.

Hope this helps and best of luck.

But a lot cheaper in Walmart than Pet Stores.

I agree, at least half the price.
