African Nightcrawlers (scientific name: Eudrilus Eugeniae), are also known as ANC’s, or Africans. They are rapidly becoming the favorite composting worm of those who want to produce higher quantities of Worm Compost/Castings in less time. The African Nightcrawler can compost over twice the quantities of food scraps and/or manure than other composting worms. They breed very rapidly, and is the largest composting worm available, growing up to 7-8 inches in length. They are also a good fishing worm. In Australia, the African Nightcrawler is possibly their most loved and used fishing worm. In fact, in Australia, fishing is one of the largest hobbies and pastimes of any country in the world.
Whether for composting or fishing the African Nightcrawler is quickly becoming the most sought-after worm in the World. African Nightcrawlers are a tropical worm and need to be kept in the 70’s (temperature). When they are full grown there is approximately 300 worms/lb.

SPECIES DISCLAIMER
It is not possible to guarantee 100% pure worm species with any type of composting worm. It is always possible for occasional roamers that leave there growing tray and get into another species tray. There is always a chance of receiving a few “other” species in your order. These “other” species are usually also great composters. So far, to date, we have not received any complaints on this issue but it does happen in the worm industry occasionally even when taking many precautions. While we raise both Red Wigglers and European Nightcrawler worms here at our own farm, our African Nightcrawlers are raised and are drop-shipped to you from another worm farm we have partnered with.
When placing an order please read our shipping policy for details on when we ship and what to do if there are any problems with your worms upon arrival.
When USPS took 10 days to get the worms to their next facility (which was a 2 hour drive away) the company sent another shipment of worms unprompted which arrived quickly in 3 days and that 2nd package came with all the worms alive and well. The packaging was very well thought out with structural reinforcement on the sides to prevent damage to the box, padding and air holes. Amazing care went into shipping the worms.
It's been 14 days since the first package was sent out and it arrived today. MIRACULOUSLY there were still some living worms which is proof of how well they were cared for and the extrordinary effort put into their packaging.
Congratulations to this company for going above and beyond to ensure that even disastrous shipping issues and the cold Wisconsin weather, both of which weren't in their control, could still resolve with success.
They arrived in great shape, they are lively lil guy's, I don't know anything about African nightcrawlers so I will have to learn as I go, hope they gain a few inches the next couple weeks as fishing starting to get good here, I will let you know if Wisconsin fish like them.
Ordered 3lb of worms, and they arrived alive and well. They were skinner than I had anticipated, which equaled out to more worms than i thought would be in the 3lb order. Not that im complaining, they will be big and plump in no time. My only complaint is that it took the seller a week before my order was processed and fulfilled, but to be expected, as i ordered them the weekend before spring break.Yet i would have expected a message posted on the web site letting buyers know orders would take a week to be processed. I would have also liked to see photos of the facility and processing on their website to give more trust to the buyer, though their worms speak for themselves.
We received the African nightcrawlers in great condition. Even with Cold weather condition.
All went well
