I'm curious as to how you gut load a worm too... also I keep mine in the dirt they come in, but I heard it's better to keep them with like compost (rotten fruit, veg etc) but couldnt that be like growing mold and bacteria too?
Oh yeah where I live you can't get worms in the winter, otherwise I'd always keep them on hand.

Why not keep them in a bag of garden compost or something inside? I'm thinking of keeping them in a plastic tub and just picking out worms as and when i need them. Not sure about mold and stuff. My pacu only eat fruit once its gone fuzzy, and its never done them harm. Not sure about the poly though, she is picky.
You can gutload your worms by adding veggies, fruits, and other goodies to your compost bin. In terms of mold I think that a proper bin should have some drainage to decrease the water and wetness that supports fungus and mold.
Veggies work very well but they emit moisture that may promote the growth of molds and stuff. Put in some saw dust. it worked for me.
awesome info, once everything thaws and worms are on sale, I'm gettin' me a worm farm!
Maybe your Pacu gets a buzz off the fruit when it's fermented, probably does it on purpose. Party on.
