I was looking to buy worms online and they are sometimes sold by weight, is there a worm to weight ratio or something, never having bought any before I haven't a clue.
I hope that made sense
Hi Bill, don’t forget that worms come in variety of sizes depending on the species. Lob worms (Lumbricus terrestris) are generally the most palatable of the available worms because they don’t exude a defensive, distasteful gunk when chopped or attacked. These are very large worms so you won’t get many worms for your weight. Compost worms (generally red in colour – Dendrobaena, Eisenia fetida etc) are less palatable depending on the exact species and are much smaller worms. Specialist dealers may sell a range of sizes but more often than not angling bait worms are adult sized.
Worms can be pricy so it’s a great idea to set-up a worm bin in the garden. Half fill it with soil/compost and top up with organic kitchen waste, simply add worms (maybe a mix of Dendrobaena and Lumbricus terrestris) and soon you’ll have a healthy home grown supply of free worms .
Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation
Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
