If you can get it in the UK, try fresh waxworm as food. Its used as fishing bait here and tropical and coldwater fish LOVE them. They also float so koi don't lose them.

just looked them up defo not touching them

LOL they are harmless. I've been handling them for 20 years with no problems. You could use tweezers to pick them up, just make sure you don't squeeze them too hard. If you squeeze them too hard they will pop and a bunch of creamy white stuff comes out.

thats really put me off

You could substitute and use spikes, http/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Museslervos.jpg

Waxworms dont bite and are harmless. i was like you are first and couldnt touch them, but i do feed them to my lizards as a treat every now and again. I will try it with our pond fish and see if they like then also you get them in the UK for around £2.50 for a small tub of about 20 ish

My treefrogs love waxworms. I have learned to touch them, they aren't that gross!dont worry, they won't bite you. Afishdude is right. Squeezing them too hard with tweezers will result in worm guts everywhere! (it's pretty gross )
