I feed my female ACFs night crawlers and they LOVE them. Mine are big enough to eat the whole worm,sometimes a few, without a problem though. They sometimes will pull at each end until one wins and gets the worm. Its fun to watch. I have never had a problem with them eating the worms. They also eat goldfish, rosies, crickets, and a pinkie(only every couple of months). These frogs will eat anything.

Make sure the worms are healthy looking too. Plump, glossy looking, and not sticking together. You don't want to feed a sick worm to your frog. If you buy the worms in the containers containing a couple dozen then make sure you keep them refrigerated until you use them all. You should also feed them if you are keeping them for any length of time. I have not found a good gut loading food that they will eat yet.
