Yes!! The worms stay in the garden tower. If the worms are fed with your kitchen compost every few days, they will not wander. They love their home. I have 3 towers growing and about every 6 months you will notice that the worms begin to slow down in their consumption a bit. It is then time to remove the plug on the bottom, clean out the lovely compost, replace your plug and add the worms back into the center area and begin again. I will soak torn up cardboard egg cartons and put them in the center also. If you have any questions, please call. 614-832-4311. I sell these towers in Houston, Texas. Thanks, Teresa Yes!!

Hi Earl, this is from our care sheets on our website:Add a 1" layer of chicken mash, wheat bran, corn meal, oatmeal or a combination.Supply moisture with raw carrots, potatoes, or celery (this is essential)Sift bedding when bedding appears `sandy' Worms kept at room temperature will pupate very soon!Never let worms sit in direct sunlight or in temperatures 85° or higher

Hi Joanna! I agree with JerZGirl about using dry food or dry treats, that's what I use. For my boys however, I use the entire board. They eat their dry food out of the little shallow "holes" on the one end and one of mine loves the fish bowls because he has huge paws that he uses like a scoop. You could use soft treats to entice your kitty to start using the board if he/she is reluctant at first. My kitties needed this to slow them down when they eat otherwise they're like little Hoover vacuums! Hope this helps :)

Be sure to read directions on pkg. first. I have 3 cats, so I put them under the stove and under the fridge. Ants were so bad that I had to put my cats food dishes in baking dishes full of water to keep the ants out of their food. I put 2 under the fridge and same under the stove. Within 2 days the ants had dropped off significantly, but over the following days there were some stragglers, so I put another trap under each appliance. I was able to take my cats dishes out of the water and just set them on the floor and no ants. I love them and will be replacing them as directed and hopefully not sooner. 5 stars. Good luck.

My cat does the same thing....and actually isnt crazy about 9 lives either....she prefers Friskies always but will tolerate 9 lives at small short intervals. This was all Pate except for one flavor which was filets pieces (chunks)...but if you have to give your cat shredded or chunks...just do it in very small servings. Then she will probably keep it down. That way you dont have to throw it away, but hurry back to her favorite kind soon. Hope this helped.....

there is no question. 3 day wormer? It is recommended you do it again in 13 days in order to kill hatching larvae. You def need to de-worm all at once or you will have infestation. I would just get it from your vet. Cheaper and much more effective. The paste is the way, the powder is not as easy to ingest as it seems.

I would send it back and ask for a sealed one and in the meantime, if you have any farm supply stores around you or even a pet store, ask them if they carry this product or something similar to purchase until your product is delivered. When I run out I go to an agriculture farm supply store and I purchase a probiotic to give to my cats until I can get a refill of the NaturVet Enzymes in the mail.

My feeder is fairly new, only about a month old, and my cat is able to break into it and sometimes get out nearly a full portion of food. I'm pretty unhappy about this.

If you're talking about throwing up their meals, then I had the same problem at first. I found that if I increase their dose slowly I can avoid this. I increased by 1/4 pill per week, up to 3 pills per day for the biggest kitty (15lbs). I was pretty conservative, because .. yuck. I balance the dose based upon the "results". If you're still cleaning up hairballs increase gradually, and if their stool gets runny then drop it down a bit.

It kind of depends on how much your cats eat. If they are using the bowl, you can put a fair amount of food in it. My cat either couldn't figure it out, or just didn't want to. I would say it holds enough for 2 days, but not sure about three.

I have red worms growing in mine without any issues, but I'm not sure. Might be worth asking the manufacturer? Walmart sells it too but I never found any locally which is why I ordered it from Amazon.

Hi, Amy. Good luck with the dried meal worms. We can't keep enough in he feeder during the cold months into early spring. We have noticed a slow down, but they still disappear in a couple of days. If you are a little more adventerous, try LIVE meal worms. The birds go nuts for these. The drawback is that they have to be kept in the fridge but if you're OK with that...a tupperware container with strips of news paper and some holes in the lid works just great. Bluebirds are our biggest consumers but other birds frequently stop by for a snack. Best wishes and good luck!!! alan in MA

Since my cat has been eating this I have noticed that she is nt pucking as much. We also have seen she does not eat her food like she did before. She seems like she is actually getting full now. Mind you we have her food set to feed her at set times a day now but she is leaving food now. Where she was not before. She was getting sick all the time now maybe once a week or every other. I hope this helps.

Did you try mixing it with regular food for a week or so? I have 6 cats, no problems.

Actually Bettas prefer live foods, it's rare they will eat something that isn't. Live Tubifex Worms are best. Keep them in a covered container (the worms, not your Betta) in a tiny bit of water in your fridge, rinse dailey, only feed what your Betta can eat in 3 minutes or less. If you have other fish in with your Betta, they will benefit from the Live Worms too :) If taken care of properly, the worms should stay alive for up to 2 weeks. Hope this helps!

Try scooping some poop out of the other box, place it in the new one and unplug the box until he/she uses it. Then plug it in once a day and hit the button to cycle but dont leave it going. Unplug it once it has cycled. I have the same issues with my cats but we are on week 3 or 4 and they are almost never using the old cat box anymore. Slow transition. They need to trust it.
