I am sure they will be expensive as this is lab supply house but,,,

The good thing is they can be easily propagated by mechanically breaking them into pieces..
You may want to search other lab supply houses as these are used in toxicology experiments very often.

Lol...These worms will mate and reproduce sexually but they also grow into new worms when broken into pieces.

thanks for the info much app, I have had no luck getting a supply in US to export, maybe beg a US member to post me some over at my expense of course but dont know if it would be feasible or they would survive thanks.
You'd just about have to find someone here in the States who was traveling to the UK and could get them to you fast. Even here in the States they have to be shipped overnight to have a good chance of surviving. You'd have too look into the laws about importing them, as well. My nephew lives in London. He visited last week but has already left. If the red tape had worked out in advanced I'd have been happy to send a box of worms with him but it's too late for that, now.
If it's any consolation there have been many hobbyists who have tried to culture these themselves. One guy had a plan that sounded excellent, but even it did not work for him. It's a project that is much easier said than done.
