CanadianFrog,
The worms commercially sold carry nematodes, which are harmless to the frogs. I know this because I feed worms to a variety of lizards and turtles, for whom I have periodical fecal exams performed. All of them have nematodes, the vet that sees them said that these were not necessary to treat. I have had ALL of these animals for well over a year (some for even longer), and I have had no problems. Store bought worms are fine. Again, if this sounds too risky for you (or whoever, I'm not targeting you per say), then don't do it. Do what is within YOUR comfort range with YOUR animals. Good luck to all.

Note: It was a certain kind of nematode, there are many different kinds.
