FoodAfter moving in to their new digs, your Super Composting Red Wigglers will be hungry! Here are some menu items suitable for your waste-fighing wigglers:Veggies! Worms prefer a vegetarian lifestyle. They love all different types of veggies and fruits — watermelon, bananas, cantalope, pumpkins, squash. They also have a sweet tooth — the sweeter the food the closer they get and the faster they reproduce! Non-Food Items: Coffee grounds, filters, tea bags, moist newspaper, moist junk mail, egg shells. Foods to Avoid: Lemons, dairy products (although mine have eaten cheese), meat products, onions only once in a while. I have experimented with pizza and bread products — they eat it, but it takes longer to break down. Definitely not recommended in the summer due to smell and flies. Remember: The more you feed your Super Composting Red Wigglers, the more worms you’ll have. They can consume their own weight each day in food. In the Event of Strong Odor: Stop adding food, and move the bedding around a bit. Let them consume what is there. |
