Idea for small wormery?

[CJ1981]

if i quickly boiled them couldnt i just treat the water in the pot before putting them in it?

I don't see why not, you'd need a designated 'worm pan' I should imagine, I don't think I'd like the idea of eating food cooked in it once it had had worms in

I don't mean for you to put the worms in a pan of boiling water and treat them like spaghetti, when I say scald them I meant put them in a colander or sieve and tip boiling water over them, my friend does it as for some reason her amphibians won't take the live worms.

ah ok ... i already have designated things for my betta tank ... i can just condition the water in a microwave safe bowl then heat it to boiling ... i may prefer that if they are too big

I was just thinking about it and can't a wormery just be kept outside? If I ever get a chance to make one we have a large backyard

How well do red wigglers breed? I don't want to be ordering new worms every other month I would like if it would self maintain other than needing fed
