Super worms & crickets

[spec]

I didn't know where to put this ? but here it goes. I'm currently a smoker (cough) and i've read alot about frogs in general. I quit smoking inside due to the fact from what i understand, they breathe through there skin. (and my gf gripes about it anyways) Good call?

I was about to go purchanse some earth worms. shuold i squeeze the dirt out of them before feeding? I used to do it as a kid, doesn't kill them. And as far as the frog i want to get, something relatively easy to care for, doesn't require me to turn my house into a terrarium. AND THE UGLIER THE BETTER! was thinking a chubby, from what i see they're pretty close in the care aspect as a pacman

I do not know about the earthworms.

Chubbies aren't bad, but boring IMO. They don't move much. You won't seem them much. But they have nice coloring. If you want something similar to a pacman, I think they would be a good choice. There are other types of frogs that are a little more showy that don't require much space as well, if that is the main concern.

Was thinking a pixie frog also, any suggestions. I've seen the sponsor site and i'm probably going to order from them. Any websites in particular i should venture too? i'm in search of a quality juvinile pet.

I don't know about that. They are Microhylids, so they have the ability to shoot their tongues out the side of their mouths, which is pretty cool to watch.

Other Microhylids are the tomato frog, Dyscophus guineti & the rubber frogs, Phrynomantis sp.

I have never seen them do that when we feed at work. Had I, and I may not have been quite as quick to call them boring.

Do you consider them very active though? When I think about it, the only ones I have seen are at work, or in a friend's mixed tank, and I'm not sure how active they would be at either place.

[Kurt]

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being hyperactive, I would say they are 3. Where as a dart frog is more like a 8.

I've got success feeding him mealworm, ( are these also called super worms wtf ) she's (beast mode) gotten to where she'll come out to her water bowl and eat what ever i throw in there. I've not fed anymore fish. I am however considering ordering Pheonix worms for my frog from lindasgonebuggy.com and the discriptions for them is : "
Phoenix Worms are a GREAT natural weapon against coccidia.They have a natural balance of calcium, phosphorus,fat and protein. Phoenix Worms also have lauric acid in them, which is proven to be effecive against coccidiosis, thus giving your pet a GREAT food source and keeping them healthy at the same time. Oh and did I mention their a GREAT fish bait too! They are GREAT for all stages of your pets life... with 4 sizes to choose from. it is a GREAT staple food, most lizzards- leopard geckos, bearded dragons, chameleons, turtles, fish, frogs, are just a few of the pets that LOVE them " . As far as my pacman goes, is this an accurate discription and is this website notable for quality products before i order. Any of you peeps have a favorite place to order etc etc (OH and thanks for all the reply's, i usually get an e-mail when a reply is made but not from this thread for some reason. I could live with myself if i killed my g/f from 2nd hand smoke, but if beast mode died i'd be devistated. I actually put alot of time into this relationship...... jk btw dont hate me )
p.s i put w.t.f and it says whites tree frog lol

Definitely a good call. As I understand it, they do most of their breathing through their lungs. They can't absorb enough oxygen through the skin to be fully active so the through the skin 'breathing' is mostly when hibernating underwater for example (I could be off here, and I'm sure it varies from species to species). Either way frogs, and girlfriends, have sensitive skin. Best not to irritate either with second hand smoke. Plus, you can afford more frog stuff with the money you save.
