Question: Worm Slime

[lhassler71]

Hi
We are feeding our 2 axies candaian nightcrawlers and they are really liking it (took awhile) but my question is, the worms produce a lot of slim when we cut them. Is this harmful? Im guessing not since it is part of the worm, but just want to make sure.

Thanks :happy:

No, completely normal and not harmful at all.

I blanch the worm in really hot sink water for a few seconds until they stop moving and the slime coat comes off. It makes it easier to feed them and cut them.
