CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to feed and breed red worms (How to feed red worms)

1. How do red worms reproduce?

How to raise red worms:

1. Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow water flow. The late spring and early autumn every year are the seasons when red worms reproduce in large numbers. They float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red. This is a great opportunity for us to collect red worms.

2. When raising a small amount of red worms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the red worms and put them in a basin or glass container. It is best to soak them with river water. If you use tap water for breeding, you should dry the tap water for 2 to 3 days in advance to remove bleach and other substances.

Change the water every other day. To prevent freezing in winter, place a wet red cloth on the container to keep it moist.

3. It is best to use a container with a larger area in contact with air, because the red worms will float to the surface of the water and make breathing-like movements, so if there are too many of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a position and die.

4.

Light source is necessary for raising red worms. You can't turn off the light source at night. You can use a small light source (such as a 5w night light, etc.) at night. Because red worms are too lazy to breathe, if there is no light source, they will die easily the next day.

5. There are specialized farms that mostly ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make feed.

When raising red worms at home, you can feed them with yeast powder soaked in water, but be sure to control the dosage.

6. When the number of red worms increases, they should be collected and dried in time. In late autumn and winter, the reproduction capacity of red worms is greatly reduced. In winter, when the red worms are not seen in the water tank, do not pour out the water in the tank, because they are lurking in the green algae.

We can put the water tank in a sunny room or near a radiator. In spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worms come out again. When the room temperature rises above 28 degrees Celsius, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

2. How to breed red worms?

Step/Method 1

Pool and density: When breeding red worms artificially, the number is generally large, and it is very common to breed them on a large scale. The first thing to pay attention to is the breeding pool and density. You can use a cement pool to breed red worms. The depth of the water can be controlled at 20-30 cm. It does not need to be too deep. Some silt can be placed at the bottom of the pool. The number of red worms should not be too large, otherwise the dissolved oxygen in the water will be insufficient, and there will be insufficient food.

Step/Method 2

Food: There are many kinds of food that red worms can eat. Some red worms only eat meat, while others are omnivorous and can eat both meat and vegetables. Even some bacteria can become their food. If you are breeding red worms artificially, you can also add some glucose to the water, which will help the red worms grow better.

Step/Method 3

Water temperature: When breeding red worms, you need to pay special attention to the water temperature, because the water temperature has a relatively large impact on the growth and development of red worms. Red worms are more afraid of heat, but not too afraid of cold, so it can be kept at around 10 degrees, or even more than 10 degrees. When the temperature is suitable, the growth and reproduction speed of red worms are relatively fast.

Step/Method 4

Water change: When breeding red worms, you must pay attention to water changes, otherwise the water quality will be poor and the dissolved oxygen content will be insufficient. The specific frequency of water changes can be determined according to the state of the water in the pool, and the water quality in the pool can be monitored in real time.

Step/Method 5

Light: Red worms don't like strong light, so try to keep the pool darker. If there is strong light during the day, it is recommended to cover it in time.

3. How to breed red worms?

Here’s how

When breeding red worms, you should choose sludge with high organic matter content as the culture medium. First, cover it with water, and then add fertilizer and mixed feed. The temperature should be controlled at around 28 degrees, then you can arrange to introduce the species.

The density should also be controlled. It is appropriate to inoculate 500-750 grams per square meter of culture area. Usually, the red worms will enter the peak breeding period in about a month. 1 I. Breeding environment (1) You can prepare a larger glass container or open a small cement pool with a depth of 20-30 cm in a place where the sun is directly exposed to the sun. This can be used as a breeding pond to breed red worms. (2) The bottom of the breeding pond needs to be paved with silt. Red worms like fertile water. The water in the breeding pond can be raised with natural water. If tap water is used for breeding, the tap water needs to be placed in the sun for exposure and disinfection before use. (3) The breeding pond needs to be in an environment that is easy to keep warm and change water. The diameter of the container needs to be large to facilitate the red worms to float on the water surface to breathe. 2 II. Breeding management (1) Red worms like light. It is necessary to equip the breeding pond with a light source. Turn on the light at dark until the next day. If there is no light source in the dark, the red worms will not breathe in the water and will die due to lack of oxygen. (2) When feeding bloodworms, the water needs to be changed every day to ensure the water quality is fresh. The water depth of the breeding pond needs to be controlled at about 3-5 cm. The water depth can be slightly increased at night to achieve the purpose of keeping warm. (3) When changing the water for bloodworms, it is necessary to keep the bloodworms as warm as possible. The bloodworms and the container can be cleaned once to clean the mucus on the surface of the bloodworms and in the container to prevent bacteria from breeding in the mucus. (4) Bloodworms like to grow in a warm environment. The water temperature can be controlled at about 10-15℃. If the temperature is appropriate, the growth of bloodworms will be accelerated. 3. Feeding management (1) Bloodworms are omnivorous animals. Their main food is organic debris in sludge, poultry manure, domestic sewage, rice bran, etc. (2) In artificial breeding, rice bran, bird droppings, sludge, sugarcane bagasse, etc. can be fermented and fed to bloodworms. Yeast powder can also be soaked in water and fed. (3) When feeding bloodworms, you can use a small amount of feeding method multiple times. The feed is mixed with water and sprinkled in the breeding pond for the bloodworms to eat freely. Feed once every 3-4 days. When feeding, you need to pay attention to the amount of residual feed. If there is a lot of residual feed, you can feed relatively less feed. 4. Bloodworm breeding method 1. Bloodworms are the larvae of chironomids, which are bred by chironomids. The peak period of chironomid breeding is in late spring and early autumn.

2. Chironomids are afraid of light. You can collect adult chironomids during the day and place them in a prepared container. The temperature of the container needs to be maintained between 23-25 ​​degrees Celsius and the humidity between 80%-90% to facilitate chironomids to lay eggs.

4. How to make red worms reproduce in large numbers?

When breeding red worms indoors, you need to provide them with suitable culture vessels. You can choose containers such as wooden barrels or glass jars that can hold a certain volume of water, then inject natural water or tap water into the container, and then place the container in the sun for exposure to allow the chlorine in the water to dissipate quickly to avoid affecting the growth of the red worms.

5. How to breed and reproduce red worms?

First, red worms cannot simply be soaked in water for a long time. You should add river mud or pond mud, preferably with more sand. The water should also be natural water, not tap water, because tap water contains bleach, which will kill the red worms. It is best to change the water once a day, because the water in the natural environment is flowing water, or slightly flowing water.

Second, the breeding container. It is best to use a wide-mouthed glass container for breeding, as this container has a large contact area between water and air, high dissolved oxygen, and good light.

Third, the light source is very important. When breeding red worms at night, there must be sufficient light source, a small-power bulb will do. Anyway, the light source must be sufficient. When the temperature is high, the red worms will float to the surface of the water to breathe fresh air and bask in the sun.

4. Food. The food of bloodworms is similar to that of earthworms. Bran, fruit peels, sugarcane bagasse, fermented poultry manure, and even silt can be used as food for bloodworms.

5. Temperature. Never freeze red worms, as they will die if frozen. It is best to keep the temperature above 20 degrees. When the temperature is above 25 degrees, red worms can reproduce.

6. How to breed and feed red fish worms used for fishing?

Prepare the culture container: It should not be too small. Generally, a water tank with a diameter of half a meter is enough.

You can also use a larger basin. If you have a ready-made pond, that would be perfect. The water should not be too deep. Half a meter deep is considered deep. The water should be relatively turbid. As the saying goes, clear water means no fish or worms. Light: Red worms have high requirements for light. Generally, you can just put them in the sun. However, the sun is very strong now. If the water temperature is too high, you need to add cold water or put them in a cool place.

7. How to raise and breed red worms at home?

In the natural environment, red nematodes mainly feed on bacteria, yeast, algae and organic debris (fragments of plants and animals). To artificially culture red nematodes, you must prepare the culture solution in advance. Take 4.5 kg of fertile soil (soil from the garden or vegetable garden) and 1 kg of straw (cut into 2 cm), pour them into a large tank, add 50 kg of water, stir thoroughly, place at 15-18℃ for 3-4 days, then filter with gauze. The filtrate is called the stock solution. Take a certain amount of the stock solution and pour it into another tank, then add 2-4 times the pond water, so that the culture solution is prepared. At this time, you can put a small amount of red nematodes into the culture solution, and keep the water temperature at 18-25℃. The red nematodes grow very fast and will multiply in large quantities to feed goldfish or other fish. In the process of cultivating red nematodes, add the stock solution at any time to ensure sufficient feed for the fish and worms.

8. How to breed and reproduce red worms?

During the spring spawning and reproduction period every year, fermented organic fertilizer should be sprinkled into the pond regularly to provide food for red worms.

After summer, the pond water should be deepened appropriately, with the water depth of about 40-50cm. The red worms can be caught when they grow up.

Breeding method: Collect adults in late spring and early autumn, collect during the day and at night, keep the temperature at 23-25℃, and the humidity at 80-90%. When the insects lay eggs, the water level in the box should be 10cm, and there should be several small wooden sticks (2cm in diameter) for the adults to attach to facilitate egg-laying and reproduction.
