Do the worms produce more worms?

The short answer is yes and you will even be able to find eggs over time. They typically only produce about as much or as fast as they die off so, in general, you will only have the same amount of worms as you started with or so the manual will say. My personal experience is that I have a growing colony of worms :).

By all means yes... just give them the right environment. Avoid the anaerobic/stinky/mushy environment and they'll produce. I purchased a second worm farm and scooped some from the first and that one is fully populated.

Worms breed and lay eggs in the bins. 500 worms will turn into thousands of worms in no time.

Yes, according to what I've read, the worms lay eggs and reproduce in the environment. We only set this up a few weeks ago so I can't speak from experience, but it's what I've heard.

Hello! I assume so! They're green and brown! Super for making compost! I would think worms like to eat my greens and grass is just that. Shredded leaves and small cut up things are best! Please read "Worms Eat My Garbage". Happy Farming! Love. Peace. Gratitude. Kindness. Christina

Any live feeder is capable of transmitting parasites. Having said that, I have been feeding these worms to my Bearded Dragon for at least a year and he is free of parasites.

You can use one worm at a time. Make sure you use rubber gloves when handling.

5 lbs. After that your worms will multiply & you can continue adding trays in the worm farm or add the worms to your yard/garden.

Without a doubt. During my issues I caught more than 30 of them. They just have to land one foot on it and they are done. This only applies to the larger traps. I can't vouch for the smaller traps sold in bulk packs of 60.

According to the bag: roughly 684 worms. Products like this are packaged by weight, not count, so it won't be exact.

They are much bigger than meal worms. That is why they call them Super worms.

My husband handles this so I asked him. it should not matter. We water the yard where the worms are. Our neighbor uses them too. They seem to work and we had not put any out in awhile but my husband noticed we may have one again so he put the last one out and ordered more.

Wild insects can carry parasites and transmit them to your pets. I imagine some factory raised insects that are not raised in clean conditions could as well. I have been buying meal worms and superworms from Bassetts Cricket Ranch for years and never had any problems. The worms always arrive healthy! I can't recommend a better supplier!

I live in Colorado where it does get cold, but maybe not as cold as where you live. Nevertheless, I had to buy new worms year 2 because they seemed to die out by early June. I attribute that in part to the cold weather they endured here, but I will also tell you that I know people who have worm composts here that seem to regenerate very well every year. I think that if you keep the factory out of the wind and give the worms plenty of paper and other insulating materials, you might do just fine. After all, they do regenerate in the soil. It's just that you need to provide them with whatever you can to give them a fighting chance. I live in Colorado where it does get cold, but maybe not as cold as where you live.

my son said there were a lot of tiny Praying Mantises in his egg. they, also, like to eat each other. he let all of them loose in the garden and kept two to put in his little mantis pen. he feed them some type of live bugs or worms that he bought at the pet store. he was getting ready to feed them one day and one mantis was eating the other.

Yes I just noticed the same thing, worms and some kind of webbing that I am fairly certain is from the worms. Have you found out if anything should be done about it?

I have a bearded dragon and these worms grow within a day or two and sometimes arrives already grown. I haven't had many die although I've fed them all to my beardie within two weeks.

I believe it does. It comes with a bag of feed but I don't recall the quantity.

Yes. There is Uncle Jim's worm farm that you can order from via Amazin or you can look up local worm farms nearer to you.

I think there are more than enough to start your Worm Factory. I have the same system, and when I placed these worms in the top bin ( I had almost completed compost in the second and third bins )about half of them migrated down to the second bin. Good luck with them.
