    How often do you feed them? what type of container are they in? Substrate?

    A friend (and his grandsons) caught some worms for me. They are in some compost in his garage until I can go pick them up. The nightcrawlers I get at Walmart are in some clumpy dry dirt. Doesn't look very comfy!

    I have them in dirt that I collected from my yard but add the new dirt that the nightcrawlers come in to it. You definately have to keep the soil moist but not too wet! I add used coffee grounds every 2-3 weeks. They are in a rubbermaid container with holes punched in it! I keep them in a dark place (my dishwasher but not in the fridge) Our kitchen is not that warm, not sure if this has anything to do with it.
