Bufo Alvarius Diet Question

[Larry Wardog]

I've never had problems with nightcrawlers when feeding any of my critters. IME crickets seem to be more prone to parasites than nightcrawlers are.

Most Worms carry parasites and other members have had problems with them. I had my toad tested before eating Worms and after and she had parasites that she got from the worms. Bait shops, Walmart, Petco and PetSmart all have the same worms.

I have taken them out of the rotation and my toads are doing much better.

If you can find a trusted place or you aren't deworming your toads then it's not an issue.

Update on the situation:
I’ve never witnessed her eat, but crickets eventually disappear from the tank. I tried nightcrawlers as well but she doesn’t seem to take any interest in them. However I left for a few days and came back to a red mark on her nose I think from possibly rubbing against the glass, which she hasn’t done since the first week I acquired her. I have also put a black fabric around the sides of the tank about a week prior to red mark appearing and left one side open in hopes of reducing her stress. The room she’s in is quiet, so I don’t know what else could be causing her to be stressed if she is. She isn’t handled and the only time her tank is opened is to refill/clean the water dish, and to feed her as well. I’m in need of some help here, any advice? The internet doesn’t seem to be offering any on the red mark.
