CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do red worms eat? How to breed them

Red worms mainly feed on organic decaying debris in the mud and like to eat bait with sweet and sour taste. If they are in professional breeding farms, they also eat feed fermented from rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, pigeon droppings and other raw materials. Domestic sewage and waste from agricultural and sideline products processing are their main sources of bait. Because of this characteristic, they are often used to purify water. Red worms not only have the function of purifying water quality, but they are also excellent natural bait for fish. This is because they have good palatability and high nutritional value, which can promote the growth and development of fish.

1. What do red worms eat?

1. Food Types

(1) Red worms usually feed on organic debris in the mud and like to eat bait with a sweet and sour taste. Their main sources of bait are poultry manure, domestic sewage, and waste from agricultural and sideline product processing.

(2) In professional breeding farms, raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, and pigeon manure are generally fermented first and then made into feed for red worms.

2. Introduction

(1) Because bloodworms ingest organic debris in water and usually consume large amounts, they have the effect of purifying water.

(2) At the same time, bloodworms have high nutritional value and good palatability, which can help fish grow and develop better. Therefore, they are also an excellent natural bait for fish.

2. How to Breed Red Worms

1. Collection and breeding containers

(1) The late spring and early autumn are generally the breeding seasons for red worms, and they like to live in fertile water with slow flow (the water depth is generally 0.5m), so you can usually use a collection net to collect them at this time.

(2) After collection, they can usually be kept in a container with a larger contact area with the air to ensure that each red worm has enough space to live.

2. Feeding and breeding water

(1) Generally, you can soak the yeast powder in warm water first and then feed it to the red worms.

(2) Generally, you can use river water or tap water to breed red worms. However, when using tap water for breeding, you need to dry the water for 2-3 days first, and then use it to breed red worms after the impurities in the water dissipate. The water should usually be changed once every 1 day.

3. Daily management

(1) When raising red worms, you need to provide them with sufficient oxygen and keep them in a place with air circulation to ensure that they can breathe freely.

(2) Although bloodworms like sunlight, their requirements for light are not particularly strict and they can generally survive in an environment with weak light.

(3) When raising red worms, dead worms must be removed promptly. If the number of red worms is found to have increased, they should be harvested promptly and then dried and stored.
