Instead of crickets, what worms/insects can they have? Wax worms, or what other types of worms? My 2 pac man frogs are young, and I want to vary the diet, other than crickets....

You can try lobster roaches, baby guppies, young feeder goldfish (commets), red wigglers, and or small nightcrawlers.
I've had no problem feeding any of these to my horn frogs.

I feed mine a diet of mostly nightcrawlers w/ some super worms. She's not really into crix as she often gets a tongue full of subsrate when lunging at them. I feed the worms on a plastic lid, lightly coated w/ vegetable oil, so she doesn't stick to the plastic. It works really well!

I've been feeding my dwarf pixie mealworms, he isn't interested in crickets. Could I feed him super worms without harm? They look like they bite.

I don't see alot of worms available for sale to feed Pac Man frogs, so where does everyone buy their worms (nightcrawlers??)
aren't there other worms that are smaller and better than nightcrawlers????

P Alan

Sometimes I can find night crawlers at Petco. Or you could order them through places like wormman.com or reptile food.com.

I buy my nightcrawlers at Walmart in the sporting goods section. They are big, juicy & always available. Superworms I get at Petco or my local pet shop.
