ACFs big enough to handle worms?

Also maybe Xenopus Express' formulated ACF food would be a better choice then reptomin. I know they have both sinking and floating pellets.

Never tried it, I try not to toss pellets in that sink and rot (Xenopus never find ALL their food..). They probably work well in a lab environment with a bare bottom tank and frequent water changes though. Mess aside, I am sure nutritionally they are a good pellet.

A floating pellet is better, because it's easier to remove excess food and hand feeding is best, because almost nothing goes to waste and mucks you tank up.

That is exactly why I started to hand feed mine. I would find food the next day all gunky and dusty and it was just not a pretty site. It's also a fun way to "bond". I got one of mine to pounce on my fingers/food and gobble up that reptomin. It's also funny when they have a bit sticking out of their mouth, looking a bit like a cigar or something. But for being a clawed frog, they certainly are soft when they approach you!
