hey, i'd love to but were going to florida friday morning so im packing thursday and i have things in the week. I've been tring to find a ride over. I talked to my friend and she says she is moving and when she does, she wants to buy. But in the mean time she wants to ride over and take a look. I'll let you know when

[jdruff8]

o yea, and is the water just tap water? or dechlorinated? and leave them in the bag rinsing?

[Carol_Roberts]

Dechlorinated, cold water - I store it in the fridge. I keep the worms in a plastic box - like a big tupperware container. Dan also sells blue worm keepers that are ideal for 1/4 lb or so. I have two of those that I use when towards the end of an order (they take up less room in the fridge)

[RyanH]

I bought a couple of those worm holders from Dan but my wife won't let me keep worms in the fridge unless they are covered tightly.

I do what she says because divorces are expensive. ::)

Hi Everyone,



I bought the blue worm keepers from Dan and I went to the dollar store and bought a plastic shoebox that has a lid.. I Put 2 of the Blue worm keepers in them and put in the refrigerator no mess and no worms crawling around in the refrigerator.. Wife is happy ;D

here is a pic

[RyanH]

That's a really good idea. Thanks for sharing!

[mench]

Joe,I have a bunch of Dans worm keepers,but I don't use them..brand new never used,when ya come over I will give ya a super deal on a couple if ya want

[Carol_Roberts]

The worms need air - don't suffocate them

[travelingman]

Hi Carol,
One thing about the plastic shoeboxes the worms will not suffocate.. They can still get air .. Boxes are not airtight

[RyanH]

I keep mine in a tightly sealed tupperware container and I change their water at least once a day. I have kept them for a month with no problems.

[jdruff8]
