Worm pudding....do they serve that with liver and kidney pudding? Ugh...I hated that stuff when I lived in the U.K. Speaking of food...I have been wanting to ask you Greg....do you eat Haggis?

[Natrix]

You're not on your own there Marnie...... But I have to say Haggis, both traditional and the veggie stuff Is OK!

I've frozen 'leftover' worms from a feeding with a pinky mouse for extra scenting. There was nothing left of the worm but sludge but it worked great for scenting.

A worm farm is your best bet, big container with dirt n veggie cut offs, kept cool n dark.

Greg....do you eat Haggis?

.... Yuck ....

Thanks for everyones input, my problem is that I live in an apartment and I cant really control the temperature in here, I was thinking of keeping the worms on the fire-escape put its getting much warmer outside as the days go by. So I guess I'll stick to cutting up pinkies into small pieces which I dread.

You can keep the worms in the fridge.

I just keep them in an unused crisper drawer in the refrigerator. Just make sure there's some tiny holes in the lid of their container so they can get air. Check on them once in a while to make sure they stay slightly moist (not wet) , adding a few sprinkles of water when necessary. I've kept them this way for 4 months at around 42 degrees F and they all stayed alive. Watch for mold. You don't want mold to grow in their substrate. It will kill them. Mold is usually not a problem at those temperatures, and not a problem unless you keep them too wet. Also check for dead ones once in a while. If one dies and rots in there, the rest will follow.

Worm pudding....do they serve that with liver and kidney pudding?

No, it's served over compost.
