Default mealworms and pacman frog

According to Wikipedia, pacman frogs are not supposed to have mealworms or superworms. Is this true? I have never heard this before and I figure out of most amphibians a pacman would be one that would handle them the best.

meal worms can be A PART of a varied diet.
but they shouldn't be the sole constituent of any animals diet, the frogs don't really digest their shell particularly well.

Very true and I understand that as they shouldnt really be fed only on one thing anyway like just mice or just crickets. It just threw me off when it said that mealworms and superworms should not be fed at all.

Besides this, I've always fealt that mealworms are too small for my pacman, trying to feed them to him can be a little tricky. Supers are slightly easier but still a little bit of a pain.

If you want some wormage for him then get some nice fat earth worms, they love them.
