MarkLB Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi all. I read this in another thread and it got me wondering...... My daughter did one on which food white worms preferred.I use luncheon meat and a mate uses porridge. I've also used fish food when the luncheon runs out....... so what do you feed your Whiteworm?? And Caryl, do you remember your daughters result?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 luncheon for both Grindles and white worms make gathering them really easy as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Remember? After 16 years???? Errr no. I know she used luncheon, baby cereal, cat food, porridge and bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have had awful luck with whiteworms but grindals grow out of the containers. Recently changed to whitebread soaked in yeast/water and whiteworms seem to be geting slowly better. I used to use luncheon and might go back to that and I have heard that rice is pretty good too. What is the best stuff to grow white worms in? I have 6 diferent types of cultures. 1 Coir, 2 Plain garden soil, 3 Peat, garden soil, shredded cardboard, 4 Coir and garden soil, 5 plain sead raising mix and 6 Peat, garden soil. None are doing great. Grindals are easy they eat up to 5 cat biscuits daily but only like the yellow ones but will eat the red ones if nothing else is around. They compleatly ignore the green ones.

alanmin4304 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Whiteworms need to be drier and cooler than grindles. I use expired potting mix or seed raising mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks all for the input. I think I'll do a little experiment, it'll be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnie Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I never have had much luck with my white worms always seem to kill them off. Too wet or to dry. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
