I switch out the bread once a week. Hasn't been an issue yet. There is a slight bit of mold on the week old bread but nothing on the soil yet.
Ouch, sorry to hear this. how often were you changing out the bread?ive found that the worms will swarm to the side of the container when the soil is soiled
i left it for a while thinking i just had too many worms and they went downhill super fast. i didn't have any soil on hand to change and it looks like i may not have any left alive
i stopped feeding bread and yogurt as my yogurt was growing mold in the fridge.
i find it much easier with the pellets, so much so that i bought a bigger container of the cheap saltwater pellets that were on sale.
i doubt it, my colony was pretty old and i never changed the soil. ive heard you're supposed to be changing every month, but i was on at least month 2.
Please keep us updated. I hope they come back
Thanks. It is moulding in days for me. Hmmm. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but I like the idea of using pellets. Going to see if I can get mine going again.
Is the cat food as nutritious for the worms as the bread with yogurt and nutritional yeast would be?Thought I'd update everyone on my white worm culture it's continuing to do great. Switch from bread and yogurt to straight Costco dry cat food. Have not had any mold growth and the worms completely demolish the cat food in about a week.
The cat food is a lot more protein fortified with vitamins/ minerals than the bread/ yogurt combo. Stuff is made to give all nutritional requirements for cats to live solely off of. Probably just as good in my opinion.
What brand of cat food are you using? Any reason you chose cat food over dog food?
I'll have to look at the brand but the reason is higher protein content and less fillers than dog food.
I use nature's domain brand from Costco.
Do you put water on the cat food before feeding it? Or do you feed it dry?
