Red Wigglers. Also known as red worms. They are easily kept in small rubbermaid bins or out in your backyard in your garden. They are used for fish bait/food, gardening, bird food and many other things. I have many of these redworms that I personally used to feed my green sunfish aa well as use for fish bait. These worms get to be anywhere from 1-4 inches. They live in climates from around 50-80F. So in your house and they could live in your backyard from what others have told me. But i prefer to keep them in my house. They eat any green table scraps. IE carrots, potatoes, crushed cereal, ect... If anyone is interested in buying some frome me please contact me via PM or email at brett93@comcast.net

I feed my worms only the best food. So basically only food that i personally would eat was fed to my worms. They are given bottled water not tap and their soil is only top grade soil from the local garden store. The soil is an all organic soil with NO fertilizers. The price will be $5 per 100 worms. Shipping will be roughly $10 because shippinng worms with dirt is heavy and difficult to do it right.

this should be in the buy/sell section. in order for you to cut down lbs of the box you could use shredded newspaper and get it moist.
 
Sorry about the wrong section.
As for the paper. I use clean white printer paper. Just to make sure the ink does not somehow seep into the soil and possibly poison the soil and or worms.
 
I was referring to worms in general... But they have adapted well in the US, but that still doesnt make them a native specie.

i am confused. you have stated that you ship them/keep them in high grade topsoil, yet you now say you have them in a paper/soil mix?

i was saying for shipping to put the worms in moist paper only and they will be fine and the package will weigh less. then the perspective buyers can place them in what they feel works for them.
 
yes. they need to be in a paper/soil mix. Worms need "bedding" and many top breeders along with myself rip up paper and mix it in with the soil. The paper decomposes and the worms eat this. And yes thank you for the shipping tip, I will ship them in a paper cocoon.
