A few wormy questions...

[ryan]

Well here are the questions:

1. Can i use worms from the empty lot next to my house? I don't think there is any reason to fertilize that area.

2. Will those worms (the ones from the empty lot) offer better/different nutrional values than the store bought nightcrawlers? I would like to offer some different tasting worms, that is if mudpuppies can taste.

I pick my own worms from my unfertilized lawn, and my newts eat them with vigor, just as store bought nightcrawlers. I am sure the nutritional value is pretty much equal, or the taste is the same.

I think my newts like the worms fresh from the yard better than the store-bought. Elektra (my Tylo) won't even eat store-bought ones anymore! She can tell the difference!
