Our Work Hard Worms' Red Wigglers (Eisenia Fiteda) are quality fresh farm raised worms.  Most around 1.5 to 3 inches in length.  Red Wigglers last longer than many other worms in water plus have a great wiggle factor attracting fish.  The benefits of using these worms for vermicomposting is amazing (information on our website about vermicomposting). Also, Red Wigglers are high-protein for feeding birds, reptiles and other pets.

**** Instructions ***Please read before purchasing live worms****

As soon as the worms are to their new home, follow the included Live Worm Receiving Instructions to re-hydrate and condition the worms for their new habitat.

Your order will include mostly the "Red Wiggler" composting worm, Eisenia Fetida.  We say "mostly" because, very often, worm bins contain other Eisenia species as well. Every reasonable effort is made to keep the red wigglers in the worm bin; however, a pure species population is only possible in impractical, strictly controlled laboratory conditions.  

Packaging - Worms:
Worms are counted the day of packing and are packed in peat moss and feed bedding. We usually add extra worms.  The worms will and often do lose some water weight to the peat moss as it is considered a "dry" packing material.  Therefore the worms may be somewhat smaller and lethargic upon arrival due to the slight dehydration and stress the worms experience in the separation process.  See receiving instructions to condition and hydrate worms upon arrival.
