White Worms for food

[Paul B]

I feed my white worms dry catfood a couple days before I want a big gob of them.

What kind of catfood are you using. I used to have a cat food that my worms loved but I ran out and my worms don't like the new food. I don't remember what I used to use

I think it's Purina but not certain. As soon as I got it, I put it in plastic cannisters and threw out the empty bag. My wife bought it at Acme and the only dry cat food they carry is Meow Mix, Frisky and Purina.

How moist should the soil be?

I’ve tried keeping them in the past but they all died within that week. I kept them in my wine cooler (60F) and overfed them fish pellets but none of them ever ate nor moved.

Pretty moist. If you squeeze it, water will come out. But not a lake.

Looking back, I’m pretty sure I received them all dead. They never moved.

Do white worms wiggle a lot?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, but not very fast.

I think the best food is wheat bread with yogurt and yeast. I have several cultures going with this as their food source and they devour it. I tried algae pellets and fish food with negative results.

dang. They’re gonna eat better than me!

The easiest thing would be dry cat food. I have instinct limited ingredient rabbit. I don’t want to start experimenting at this stage. I need something that is known to produce results.

In that case, I’m going to go with the tried and true. Can you tell me what type of yogurt? Greek yogurt is very high in protein and has bacteria cultures in it. Is that the yogurt you use?

For the yeast: are you referring to the ones we use to bake bread? Or is there a different type of yeast?

For the bread: do the worms directly eat the bread? I watched a video and they said bread feeds the bacteria which feeds the worms.

Thank you.

I am using this yeast but others will do
Wheat bread and plain greek yogurt. As far as them eating bread I coat the bread with yogurt and sprinkle on the yeast. Within a day there are literally thousands of worms covering the food eating it. Dave Ramsey has some really good videos out there. I followed his recommendations and I’m happy with my cultures

I’ve watched his videos many times. He’s very good!
