Are these worms raised in the US or in a foreign country? Thanks!

They are USA... No "bad" things in them, unlike other pet foods with China's rice additions!

I asked the seller this same question and his answer was this: "Our worms are from China....we do have veterinary health inspections done on our worms, and they are also tested for Melamine."

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.

Are they using imported protein and veggies or are they also grown in the US? I know it says made in the US but that could be the actual processing of the food. I am wary of getting filthy garbage from China, since they often poison pets when they aren't too busy eating them.

Mine came from China. I am not going to grow these, do not want to contribute to any more alien invasive plants.

Contact the number on the package or go on-line to get any nec. contact info. Keep in mind that in order for a product to be from the USA it must be manufactured and produced ( processed in this country). Just because the farm that raises the chickens might be from the USA does not mean that the processing plant for the strips is located here ( it could be China). The person I spoke with would not give me the city or state that this product was manufactured in. The pkg. clearly states manufactured for this organic farm which is in the USA. I hope you have better luck determining its true local.

They appear to come from Mexico. I have ordered two 5lb shipments and they have been excellent. Not one spoiled lime. Local stores in SE PA don't get them as frequently, so I have resorted to Amazon.

I live close to one of their meal worm farms, so they arrived two days after I ordered them. So make sure you check at the post office regularly.

A plastic container with a lid, like from sour cream or a spread. poke small holes in the lid to allow air in. The worms are shipped in crumpled news paper, so you will need to provide food, like wheat germ, apple, bread, ground up cereal, etc

I do not know where they are made. Definitely made cheaply and not in the U.S.If you are looking for something Fair Trade, think again on this one. I have about 15 of these little guys, no mention of any manufacturing info on them besides serial.

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've ordered these mushrooms from JR Mushrooms many times and have NEVER had any problem with worms. This is a wonderful product, from Italy, the real deal. Grade AB means stems and pieces, so they're perfect for sauces and risotto. I will continue to buy my Porcinis from this vendor.

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.

I purchased my roaches from Red Earth Worms.( 100 Mixed Size Dubia Roaches ) In my opinion, ANY roach would feel special the way this firm ships them. Mine were in a special box, inside styrafoam packing, with screened ventilation holes and arrived in excellent shape. I live in southern oklahoma and the temperature here is hot as hell, and these bugs arrived very healthy and full of pep. I would say they would have lasted for at least 1 week in the container, but they ship 2 to 3 day so time is not an issue. Go ahead, buy them, you will not regret it. I am raising mine and feeding my lizards mainly superworms until I develop a nice size colony and they are just doing gr8!

No, these worms will not survive winters where temps fall below 40F and they won't survive temps above 85F for extended periods of time. These are special composting worms so please do not consider buying these for garden soil either. These are are not burrowing, soil eating worms, these worms live only in the top 8-10 inches of the soil and their diet consists of leaf litter, mulch and manure so unless you have a lot of this for them to eat they will starve to death.

They are small and medium. We didn't get any giant worms. These are excellent quality.

Terri, I would send them back they shouldn't have arrived that way. To prevent in the future you can keep them frozen until you eat them? I buy them for my birds so the worms and bugs won't bother them. I wouldn't eat them.

The bottom of the container they are shipped in is full of food that will last far longer than the worms lifespan. It is a hard mixture that they slowly eat away. I have not seen them finish it by then time I've fed all 15 yet
