Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm curious about the comparative values of various foods for my tiger sal and, now, a toad (likely a Woodhouse) that I seem to have rescued.
The easiest foods for me to get are crickets, giant Canadian earthworms, and mealworms (but I read that mealworms aren't good for toads).
I feed the crickets Nature Zone Total Cricket Bites Total Gutoad.. (I don't raise them, I buy a couple dozen at a time.)
How nutrious are these different things?
Also, on web sites, I see ads for red worms (Eisenia fetida), European nightcrawlers and black worms.
Are any of these worms as good or better than the giant earthworms?
The worms I get at the bait shop are so big that I have to cut them up. And sometimes the pieces quit wiggling before the toad eats them so then he ignores them.
I try to vary their diets, and I cut the heads off the mealworms before giving them to the salamander. I haven't offered the toad any mealworms.
Appreciate any information!

There is a website out there w/ a chart comparing the nutrition values of various feeder insects/animals, but I'm sorry, I don't know the name. You can try searching for it or maybe someone else here knows it.

Forgot to mention, earthworms are the best item you can feed to yoru salamanders, so stick with them. If you want to add other items keep earthworms as the core staple.

Thanks. This will be a big help!
I do feed worms as the main one. But sometimes when I run out, it's quicker to run to the pet shop on the edge of town and get some crickets to carry on for a few days.
