New White's Tree Frog possible issue

[Frogger00]

The downside to mealworms and superworms, though, is the excessive chitin (undigestible material) to meat ratio. That and these things have been said to be able to chew their way out of delicate species (which adult WTFs are not, but still)

It's true they are not too nutritious. I always have some on hand for the sugar gliders so give the frogs a few each week. I like to keep a variety of foods. I've never heard of the meal worms being able to eat the animal inside out. Super worms though, I couldn't say as I've never tried them.

I wonder if Myth Busters has ever worked with this one, lol :P I did find this, though, so I guess close enough! Dinner’s Revenge: mealworms that survive in the stomach, then eat their way out of predators - Boing Boing No clue about the beetles themselves though... I know there are some kind of worms/beetles they use to strip carcasses for taxidermy work (*shudder*). I guess a healthy frog might be perfectly fine, but I still wouldn't give them to a convalescing one, just in case
