Earthworm storage

[Zach]

About how many earthworms or trout worms should I store in about a shoebox sized container, and how long would they stay alive (assuming I add food every week or so). I'd prefer buying them in bulk to save time and money, while not taking up too much space. Time, numbers based on 2 axolotls.

Thanks,
Zach

If your just using the container for storage then about 30-35 nightcrawlers and about 50 trout worms can be housed for a little while. Assuming they are kept cool and fed you can keep them for a long time.

Store them in the fridge. They'll stay fit and healthy much longer than keeping them at room temperature.
