African Nightcrawlers

African Nightcrawlers (Eudrilus Eugenia) are another popular composting and fishing worm.  They can be raised in a compost bin and are just the right size for fishing.  The African Nightcrawlers are tropical worms and should NOT be refrigerated, they must be kept in a warm environment (above 60 degrees).

Order African Nightcrawlers

Description:  These worms are 4-6 inches long, and about as think as a pencil.  They can eat nearly 1/2 of their weight in food every day.  We sell these worms as full sized worms, that are ready for your fishing trip or compost pile. These worms are grown in batches and sold by count, where 250 worms equates to roughly a pound.  We add a bunch of bedding (normally dry peat moss) and put them in a breathable cloth bag and ship them straight to your doorstep.

When you receive your order you can add them directly into you compost bin or pile.  The worms may be a little dehydrated since they are shipped in a dry bedding.  Make sure they have a moist environment with composting food ready for them so that they can rehydrate and nourish themselves.  After the worms have settled in feed them only when they start running low on food. You shouldn’t have to add any water since most foods already provide a lot of moisture content. There should never be any standing water at the bottom of the bin.
