Red Wiggler Facts:
Red Wiggler Compost Worms (Reds / Eisenia Fetida) for indoor and outdoor raising. Red wigglers (or their cocoons) will survive the winter outside in a large compost bin, garden bed, or raised bed. Add lots of organics to your bin throughout the winter to keep the bin hot and worms active! We recommend having both an indoor and outdoor compost bin, the indoor bin for regular composting and the outdoor for large batches of food scraps or as a backup.
Reds can tolerate a wide variety of temperatures between 0 and 35 degrees celsius but thrive in temperatures above 20 degrees celsius.
They are the cousin to the European Nightcrawler (Eisenia Hortensis) but are generally smaller. They can co-exist with other worm species.
