How to: Scenting Worms???

[J@50n]

How do I scent a worm with toad. If I drop a toad into my garters tank NOM NOM NOM It's gone in a few short seconds. I know this is not good for him but he will not take worms for anything!! How do you scent a worm with toad?

It's kinda hard to scent a worm. Have you tried already? If so, I'd chop it and the worms and put them together...

Does he eat anything else? Have you tried fish? The fish would be very easy to scent.

I have not tried fish... Where could I get fish? Bait shops have minnows, do they work? My pet shop only has tropical fish that are $2+ Which would br pretty pricey food :/

I don't think I could do that, they're too cute haha, even though i feed them to my snake... I don't see their guts or blood or whatever -.-

Per stores often carry feeder guppies. Those are safe. Minnows (rosy reds) carry thiamnaise and often parasites. So that's a no. Frozen fish like Silversides (pet stores carry them) or a safe source of fish fillet, Salmon, Trout, or Talapia.

Chop up the toad?

Yes.

Hopefully not a live one!

I said to freeze it. For weeks. Although, if you already have fed a few, I guess you could just freeze it to kill it, and than chop it and use it... Just once more. To get him eating. Only use as much toad what you need.

probably not gonna get a worm scented.... with their slimy skin... will make whatever you put with it smell like worms
