    European Nightcrawlers 1 Lb bag of Breeding Size Worms $37.00 Per lb of Worms

    European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia Hortensis), Big Reds, Belgium Worms,
    Carolina Crawlers, or whichever name you prefer to call them, make good
    breeding stock for your worm farm and good composting worms for your
    compost heap.

    Like the common red worm, the European Nightcrawlers make good
    composting worms for your compost heap, although they eat a little less and
    breed a little slower (approximately 1 - 2 egg capsule per week) and 2 or more worms per capsule. But the European worm will breed 2 months after they are born, which is unlike other worms that breed in their later stages of life.

    The European nightcrawler worm will grow longer (up to four or five inches)
    and fatter (about as thick as a pencil) compared to the common red worm.

    Fishing: European nightcrawlers - Eisenia Hortensis
    The European nightcrawler is rapidly becoming the ideal bait and live food worm. European nightcrawlers are not only the toughest and most active worms on the market, but are the only earthworm that can be used successfully in salt water. Nightcrawlers have been used for ice fishing in the frigid waters of Northwestern British Columbia, and have been found to be still active on the hook after 30 minutes in the water under 18" of ice! The nightcrawler is also a good food source for birds, turtles, reptilians, exotic pets, and small pond and aquarium fish. The European nightcrawler can be fed and cared for just like the redworm.

    . For you folks reselling commercially, we try to maintain a compost temperature range between 60 and 80 degrees F. If you cup the European Nightcrawlers for resale, do not refrigerate, but keep at room temperature. The European Nightcrawler (Does Not) require refrigeration.

    Here at Ben and Larrys Fishing Gear and Worm Farm we suggest you bed the worms down as soon as you receive them. For
    our European Nightcrawlers, we use a bedding mixture of 25% cow manure and 75% Canadian Peat Moss. Remember to leave a light on over the bed to prevent the nightcrawlers from crawling out.

    We feed all our worms the same Grain feed and raise them in 60 to 80 degree temperatures.
