Q on feeding blackworms to Dwarf Frogs.

[[email protected]]

I bought 1/4 cup of live blackworms from my LFS recently. Can I put them
all in at once, or is there a danger of the frogs overeating?

(The LFS owner, a well reputed fellow, told me I could put them all in at
once, without presenting a danger to the froggies - I'm not sure how much I
believe this)

Seems like a whole lot of worms at once.
I mean, a 1/4 of worms in my 75g would be too much.
What size tank are your Frogs in?
Also, did your "reputed" LFS owner tell you that Blackworms often carry in
disease and really aren't considered too "safe".

Don't do it! there is a definite danger of the frogs (fatally)
overeating. The LFS owner may well be a well reputed fellow, but I've
never met one yet who knew diddly squat about amphibians. See feeding
