Gosh no, If you put those in the tank your frogs will lose all control and be unable to stop eating, they will literaly roll away from thier feeding dish if you put enough in. Just look at my frogs in the post below. They are fat, lazy and happy.

OK, all kidding aside, yes they are a great addition to the diet, but are very fattening, I feed them worms/larvae about twice a week as a treat, and I mean a treat, like I let them pig out. But then it's back to good healthy dusted fruit flys the rest of the week.

Where can I find these baby mealworms? I need to entice an Adult tinc. to eat. Ive never seen any sold at pet stores. Thanks!

Use flour beetle larvae as baby meal worms. Ed sells them. If you live in utah I can give you some.

Also give him some springtails. That worked for one of my frogs when it went through a mid-life crisis.

i've seen them almost always at bait shops.

I thought meal worms had a hard exoeskeleton that could possibly block the digestive track?
