Latest on the eisenia worms.
As my sals+ newts were eating the eisenia worms that I already had,I decided to buy some more to breed up. I gave a few of these to firstly my fire salamanders,one wouldnt try them, the other picked one up then dropped it.
I then tried the sharp ribbed newts.
One ate one, the other wasnt interested.
I thought this was strange as the worms I had bought were the same type as they had all eaten before.
I tried them on some of the eisenia worms that I had in my compost bin, and they all ate them,no trouble.
So it looks like it is possible that it isnt all eisenia worms that are unpalatable, but it depends what the worms are fed on.
The ones I have in my compast I brought up myself from eggs and have only eaten, firstly wheat flour etc, then vegetable waste.
