Nice to hear he’s getting some frozen-thawed bloodworm!!

I recall years ago reading some reports of people feeding their fish on LIVE bloodworm and they’d BURIED out through the stomach !!??

I have no idea if that can ACTUALLY happen but it stuck in my mind ever since .

The only other negative is probably with over feeding fish on bloodworms as they CAN carry parasites/bacteria due to the conditions of the water where the blood worms are grown and harvested.

I don't know about those, but I've heard the same thing about mealworms- that if you feed a lizard that doesn't manage to crunch their heads before swallowing, that they can chew their way out sometimes. Eeeek! So when I've fed them to lizards, I used my tongs to pinch their heads first, just in case. Hopefully either case is really rare?

I feel like if either of those is true it relies on having an unhealthy animal in the first place where digestion is being interfered with because of something like lack of heat, or imbalance in digestive bacteria due to parasites, or something along those lines. I could be wrong though.
