    Thanks. I just stuck the worms in a container with him and left him alone for an hour. When I checked on him the worms were gone and he had worm guts on his face.

    I'm in New York. We are due for our first frost tonight so I'd imagine all the worms will be digging much deeper in the coming week.

    I'll try and offer him a fish again. He didn't accept it the first time I offered. I already tried rubbing worms on a pinky but he wasn't falling for it.

    if you really can't get him to eat anything other than worms, you might just want to bite the bullet and get an all winter supply from NY worms
    you can keep them in a garage or basement in a large tub or a cooler
    Cabelas sells a worm kit for anglers (no worms, but bedding and food), but you can just use a cheap styro box
    the minimum order from NY worms is 500 . . .
    where in NY are you?

    I may just do that. Checked them out and it seems cheap enough.

    I'm about 15 miles east of Poughkeepsie NY.
