Hi there i aint posted for a long while but i was wondering what is the easiest way to feed earthworms ? As my toads don't feed from tweezers or hands and everytime i feed on the substrate the worms always did into it or the crawl into the moss :S any help will be greatly appriciated

Try placing the worm on a piece of slate or other surface that they can't burrow into when you feed. If your animals are exceptionally shy you can place that slate piece in front of their common hide.

Two more suggestions: 1) Feed the toads in a container separate from their regular tank (a plain bare plastic tub, sprayed with a bit of water, for example). or 2) Chop the worm into pieces. They don't crawl nearly as far as the whole worm does

I cut a lid from a yogurt tub into quarters or for small tanks use a lid from a small rubbermaid container. There is a size for condiments that works great. It has a decent lip and the worms seem to stay put unitl set upon.
