Help!!! Something just happened to my frog, and I'm not sure if something is wrong or if he is dying :(

listen where do you get your worms? some worms come packed in something other than soil, an additive that will kill your frog .
i ordered some form uncle jims worm farm once and my best male afc ate a couple and promptly died .My best bet on Crawlers are to get them during or after a rain storm and leaving them in some very good soil ( i have my own worm farm container ) for a month to get all the nasty s out .If you think that the worms might have something in them you should "milk" the filling out of them ( thats squeezing the **** out fo them literally lol). My pacmans wont eat them anyways but my afcs love them .

I get night crawlers from wal mart, I was told on here it was safe to get them from there on this forum. They don't have any dyes and are in peat moss. I rinse them off in dechlorinated water before feeding.
Do you think that isn't safe?

I was feeding him red wigglers I got from a pet store prior to this.

If i buy any i buy them fro my local pet store . Sailfin pet shop. Its a small privately owned store and the worms come packed in topsoil.I wont buy worms at walmart , they buy the cheapest things to save money and pas the savings on to you which could result in tainted worms .Peat moss, used by gardeners, is commonly treated with pesticides and other chemicals during processing. Generally cleaned of all chemical residue, commercial peat moss may contain traces of harmful elements. In general, however, peat moss is listed as nontoxic.Although peat moss is nontoxic, it can cause gastrointestinal irritation. The symptoms of peat moss ingestion are nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Contact your veterinarian for care advice.

Thanks for the info. I had been feeding Blob red wigglers from a pet store before, those were not in peat moss. I had just started feeding him night crawlers recently. The local pet store doesnt carry night crawlers. Are red wigglers just as nutritious? I may switch him back to those.

yes red wigglers are fine and not so large so you do not have to cut them up .My smaller fish love red wigglers i have a southern purple spotted gudgeon who will dance at the glass when he knows i have some ready for him lol!
