Blackworm Care Sheet
  How to Care for and Raise Blackworms
Please Click Here to Return to the Care Sheets Index Page.

General Care:
  • Upon the arrival of your Blackworms, thoroughly rinse them with cold (40-50° F) aged or bottled water until the run off water is clear and clean.
  • Place the Blackworms into your worm keeper or other container. Cover the Blackworms with no more than 1/2 inch of cold (40-50° F) aged or bottled water. Do not cover the container (they need to breath).
  • Keep your Blackworms in the refrigerator. They need to be kept
    between 40-55° F.
  • Make sure that your worms are no thicker then 1/2 inch. If they are thicker than 1/2 inch, they may suffocate or try to escape from their container.
  • To keep your blackworms fresh, they should be rinsed at least once a day. Use only AGED OR BOTTLED PRE-CHILLED WATER when rinsing. Do not use aquarium water, or room temperature water. Only cold 40-50° water.
  • You do not have to feed your worms; they will live off their own body weight. However, the longer they are kept, the more weight they will lose.
