Ordered 2lbs. African night crawlers . Arrived exactly when stated. Worms appeared well and happy . Placed in worm bin moisten soil placed worm blanket and moisten it . Checked in about 3hrs and every worm had burrowed in . Not 1 dead worm,was amazed. Live in southwest FL. reason for getting African. Been about 3 weeks and all seems well . Easy company to work with and always a quick response with any questions. Using worms for bait have about $80 in whole set up . Will spend that much in a month at baitshops . Absolutely great experience..!
