Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida) (older spelling: Foetida) – a.k.a: Red Worm, Tiger Worm, Manure Worm, Composting Worm, Brandling Worm, Trout Worm, Panfish Worm, Red Californian Earthworm, etc. Red Wigglers are part of the epigean species of worms. They are the most common and most widely used composting worm. They are very easy to manage, multiply at an extreme rate if space and food materials are available. And are very tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, and can process organic matter very fast.
They can be used as a bait worm when a smaller worm is desired, i.e. approximately 3 inches, they are known for their vigorous wiggling while on the hook. They also make a great supplemental food source high in protein for fish, reptiles, and birds. But they are best known for their vermicomposting abilities. When full grown there are approximately 1000 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.
Thanks for the beautiful and healthy red wigglers! I received my worms on the 13th of April and I am happy to report that they are reproducing. I have been composting for decades, but I am just starting to learn about vermacompost which is a whole other universe. I had to order a book on the subject because I feel like I have no idea of how to harvest the vermacompost. I am amazed at the whole process. Thanks again!
Great value , worms were happy !!!!
1/2 pound each of Red Wigglers and European Nightcrawlers arrived two weeks ago in perfect health. My wife and I set them up in their new homes where after only a few days they doubled in size, and a week later we had handfuls of castings with bunches of cocoons and new tiny worms. The price was good, too. I will recommend these worms and this seller to everyone looking to start their own worm collections. Thank you!
Transaction was flawless, fast shipping
And worms arrive alive.
Worms arrived in great condition. Couldn’t be more satisfied with the order. Will be placing another order soon for European Wigglers. I feed them to my gold fish and use them for fishing.
