Not Just Cichlids Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi Guys I have a white worm cuture going but it keep on getting this mite through it. Can I do anything to get ride of it? The cuture is in a poly box and I feed them Ham 'n' chicken. They start to do very well for 1-2 months then this mite gets in and makes the worms disappear. If anyone can help that would be great.

mitzy Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Are the mites tiny white things cause i got them too, though my worms are doing ok i have a couple of earth worms in with them to keep the dirt moving and they breeding as well. You could try getting new soil and pulling your worms out of the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 You encourage the mites by feeding too much and it starts to go off before the worms eat it. I try to feed enough so they eat it in one or two days and don't refeed (luncheon) until the food is all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
