CATDOLL: What food to feed red worms (What food is good to feed red worms)

1. What kind of feed is best for red worms?

Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the silt and like to eat sweet and sour fish bait. If they are in professional farms, they also eat feed fermented from raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, and pigeon manure.

2. What food do bloodworms eat?

Red worms mainly feed on organic debris on the bottom of the water!

Bloodworms are divided into omnivorous and carnivorous. Omnivorous bloodworms mainly eat algae, aquatic plants, bacteria, small animals, etc. Carnivorous bloodworms mainly eat chironomid larvae, crustacean larvae, oligochaete larvae, etc. Bloodworms are phototactic. They will live in the planktonic state at first, and then turn to benthic life. As the larvae turn to benthic life, their growth habits will change from phototaxis to backlighting.

3. What to feed preserved red worms?

Blood worms feed on crustaceans, oligochaetes and other chironomid larvae, while omnivores feed on bacteria, algae, aquatic plants and small animals. Blood worms can eat glucose, so you can buy some glucose to feed the blood worms. Blood worms do not eat much, so just a few drops each time.

Place the red worms in some loose soil. The soil contains the nutrients that the red worms need, and the moist soil can better keep the red worms active.

4. What food should be fed to farmed red worms?

Answer: (1) Red worms feed mainly on organic debris in the mud and love 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.

5. What to feed red worms?

Most bloodworms feed on organic matter in water bodies. In silt or water bodies rich in organic matter, they can reproduce in large numbers due to the lack of natural enemies such as fish and shrimp. Except for some species of the genus Chironomid that feed exclusively on plants, the remaining species can be divided into two categories: carnivorous and omnivorous. Carnivorous species feed on crustaceans, oligochaetes and other chironomid larvae, while omnivorous species feed on bacteria, algae, aquatic plants and small animals, and can live in relatively oxygen-deficient environments.

6. 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.

Omnivorous bloodworms mainly eat algae, aquatic plants, bacteria, small animals, etc. Carnivorous bloodworms mainly eat chironomid larvae, crustacean larvae, oligochaete larvae, etc. Bloodworms are phototactic.

8. What do red worms eat?

It mainly feeds on organic debris in the mud, and especially likes to eat sweet and sour bait. Livestock and poultry manure, domestic sewage, and waste from agricultural and sideline product processing are their main sources of bait. They mostly live in the mud on the banks of rivers or at the bottom of rivers, densely packed on the surface of the mud, with one end fixed in the mud and the other end sticking out of the mud and trembling in the water. Once disturbed, it will immediately retract into the mud. The nutritional value of water earthworms is extremely high, and they must be rinsed repeatedly in clean water before feeding. It is a bait that goldfish and koi like to eat very much, and it is also the main bait for eel fry and young turtles.

9. How to raise red worms at home?

Raising red worms at home is a common idea among many outdoor anglers. If you really ask how to raise them, most of them may not know. The red worms you usually buy are not easy to survive in water, and it may be even more difficult to raise them. Can you raise red worms at home? The answer is yes, but you may not have the patience to raise them and give up halfway.

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.

10. How to raise red worms?

In the process of artificial breeding, the water depth is generally maintained at about three to five centimeters. Especially in spring, when artificial breeding is carried out, the water level can be slightly lowered. This method can effectively increase the water temperature. Deepening the water level at night can effectively keep warm.

Fertile water with a steady flow can allow red worms to reproduce in large numbers. At this time, you can place the silt and red worms together in a clean glass container and use some natural pure water for breeding. If you want to use tap water for breeding, you must place them under sunlight for two or three days before using them as reasonable breeding water. Change the water in time every day and take some very good warming measures.

Red worms mainly eat organic fertilizers and like some sour and sweet feeds. Generally, they need to be fed once every three days. One mu of land should be fertilized with more than 50 kg of fertilizer each time, and a certain amount of water should be added, and then sprinkled after sufficient stirring.
