Hi to the world of Frog forum!
I am a 62 year old junior member with 45 years experience of keeping amphibians and various reptiles.Please can we dispel the myth of mealworms eating there way out of your pet like a great white shark.I have fed mealworms to frogs and toads all my life and have never experienced one burrowing its way out of my pet like some alien carnivore.
I have observed mealworms in water and they generally stay motionless.They have evolved as vegetation and grain eaters .I assume that when the mealworms arrive at your pets stomach they are overwhelmed by the gastric juices,(acid cocktail) I have yet to place mealworms in a vat of acid but I expect te results would be the same?
Please could worldwide membersl either dispel the myth for ever or reply with confirmation and evidence that mealworms can and do in fact burrow their way out of your pets stomach ?
