Thanks Paul. My culture is thriving and my mandarin is loving the worms. I even split the culture and gave some to a friend.

Paul, I read they do best under 70° and have problems as they approach 80°. Has this been your experience? I'm cheap and the house does get close to 80° during the summer.

In the summer I put their shoebox in a Styrofoam cooler with a plastic bag of ice. It lasts all day and I replace it the next day. They worms never complained.

I can do that. Don't want to deal with their little squeals.

My worms don't wear stockings. I use the stockings for my shrimp feeder not the worms.
