:Should I switch over to pellets?

No - feed a varied diet including earthworms. Several sepcies of amphibian have been raised to reproductive maturity on a diet consisting solely of earhtworms. This is not recommened, but make the point that earthworms have a balanced Ca/P ratio. I add ground eggshells to my earhworm cultures to balance acidity and top up the calcium.
