Uncle Jim's Worm Farm Super Red European Night Crawler Reptile & Fish Food, 500 count

Uncle Jim's European Night Crawlers will not do well in the refrigerator, they like to be between 55-78 degrees but can withstand 40-80 degrees F. The best way to keep them alive and have them reproduce is to make a Worm Bin that they can live in year round. You can do this with a 5 gallon bucket, Storage Tote and many other things. They do require 10-12 inches of bedding/soil to live in so make sure it is deep enough.

The worms are packed to survive up to 10 days in the bag they arrive in. Simply open the bag upon delivery and inspect to ensure you see nice active, live worms. Now add a half cup of water and a tablespoon of cornmeal or oatmeal directly to the bag. Tie the bag back up and keep in a room temperature environment. Repeat these steps every 2 or 3 days until your worms are ready for their new home! This worm populates quickly and is an excellent bait worm as well as pet food. It is also a composting worm. When it gets colder, your worms will slow down, and will not be able to digest as much food waste. You will most likely need to cut back on the amount of food waste you feed your worms between November and February. Red worms can survive cold winters outside if protected by bedding in a worm bin.

These red worms are suitable for any animal that eats red worms, including ducks and chickens.

Uncle Jim's Worm Farm European Night Crawlers are perfectly safe for snakes as well as exotic pets.
