Pan Worms

[foster]

I recently picked up a container of "Pan Worms" (along with waxworms and new shoes) at my local Dicks Sporting Goods. The container states that they are good for trout fishing. They are much smaller than standard bait earthworms. I was wondering if anyone knows what they are exactly? My first guess would be one of the noxious redworm species however with the exception of one Echinotriton andersoni juvenile and a couple of Cynops e. popei juvies all of my other caudates seem to relish them (Tylototriton and Pachytriton). The small size makes them much easier to cut and feed to my smaller animals. Anyone else have experience with them?

Chip, that would be my guess as well.

If I get them, I cut them on a paper towel, and then rinse them. This seems to get rid of most of the foul fluids.

Thanks for the response Kaysie. I have been rinsing them anyway to clean off the soil from the container before feeding. In any case most of my animals seem to enjoy them so I will make them a regular part of the variety of food that I use.
