CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise earthworms at home

Families can raise earthworms in pots.

The breeding container can be a flower pot, plastic pot or other waste ceramics. When breeding in a pot, it is resistant to land, and the feed height is required to be 3/4 of the pot height. The breeding quantity is preferably 100-200 fish per pot. Because the pot is small, the temperature and humidity in the pot are easily affected by the environment.

Therefore, in order to maintain the appropriate humidity in the basin and prevent the feed from drying out and the temperature from changing greatly, you can cover the basin mouth with plastic film and spray water frequently while ensuring ventilation; or in order to adjust the temperature in the basin, the basin can be moved frequently as the outside temperature changes. In addition, the breeding time in the basin should not be too long, 30-60 days is appropriate.

Environmental requirements

1. Temperature

Generally speaking, the activity temperature of earthworms is between 5-30℃, they enter a dormant state at 0-5℃ and die below 0℃. The optimum temperature is around 20-27℃, which is also the optimum temperature for earthworms to grow cocoons and lay eggs. They stop growing at above 32℃ and die at above 40℃.

2. Humidity

Earthworms use their skin to breathe, so their bodies must remain moist. Water accounts for more than 75% of their body weight. Preventing water loss is the key to their survival, so the humidity of the feed should be kept at around 70%.

If you want to raise earthworms at home, you can get some earthworm feces and earthworm soil, which is relatively loose.

Hello friend, if you raise earthworms at home, you can get some soil, so that they will have eyes and can survive in the soil.

If you want to raise earthworms at home, you must have a certain amount of space and control the humidity and temperature!
