Red Earthworms

Eisenia hortensis or fetida

 Red earthworms are great for feeding birds, reptiles, and small mammals.

We offer these in jumbo size (1.5" to 3.5") or small (1" to 1.5")  though we will pick the largest and often include eggs (cocoons) in the bedding.  Each cocoon with hatch 1 to 5 worms.

CARE AND STORAGE

Upon arrival remove the lid to allow fresh air into the cup and add a few drops of water if needed to keep the bedding moist.  Red worms breathe through their skin which must be moist at all times.
