African Dwarf Frog Death

[rodsboys]

I have never heard bloodworms cause bloat in African Dwarf Frogs. All things being equal though it doesn't surprise me and adding variety is never a bad idea. I think I'm going to buy some frozen Mysis and Glass worms to add to the diet. I've only ever owned 4 of these guys and the deaths have come from physical trauma (1 caught in a filter and 1 with a cleaning accident).

I've seen it mentioned tons of times actually. I had a few frogs get it from just a few feedings some years ago when I introduced it to my rotation and ran out of other foods for a short while. Here is one article that mentions it. I don't believe it is scientifically proven yet and the cause is not certain as some believe it is from bacteria in the stomach of the worms and other believe the indigestible parts of the worms may cause it.
