1. What is the best way to raise red worms?

1. Breeding conditions: Red worms like to live in micro-flowing fertile water. Artificial breeding must meet this condition. They will reproduce in large numbers in late spring and early autumn. They must be collected in containers. It is best to raise them with natural water and take anti-cold measures when the temperature is low.

2. Control the light source: Red worms like light, so the lights should not be turned off at night, otherwise they will easily die.

3. Water quality control: The water level can be slightly shallower during the day to increase the water temperature, and the water level can be deepened at night.

4. Feeding bait: Ferment rice bran, silt, pigeon droppings, sawdust, etc. into feed.

2. What is the simplest way to raise red worms?

1. Pool and density: When breeding red worms artificially, the number is generally large, and breeding them on a large scale is very common. The first thing to pay attention to is the breeding pool and density. You can use a cement pool to breed red worms. The water depth 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.

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 vegetarian food. 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.

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 the water temperature 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.

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.

5. Light: Red worms do not like strong light, so try to keep the pool in a darker state. If there is strong light during the day, it is recommended to cover it in time.

3. How to breed red worms?

Step/Method 1

When breeding red worms, prepare a glass container, put the selected red worms into it, and then inject clean and sterile natural water. If you want to use tap water for breeding, it is best to expose the tap water to the sun for 2-3 days to remove the chlorine in it to prevent poor growth of the red worms.

Step/Method 2

Control light source

The growth of red worms cannot be separated from light. Lack of light source will cause the red worms to have difficulty breathing and suffocate to death. When breeding, it is best to hang a 5-watt light bulb above the container to provide the red worms with sufficient light, allowing them to breathe freely and grow healthily.

Step/Method 3

Water quality control

When breeding red worms, the water should be changed once a day to keep the water clean. In the process of changing the water, the red worms and the container should be cleaned to remove the mucus to avoid the breeding of bacteria. The breeding water depth should be controlled at about 3-5 cm, and the water level should be deepened at night to keep warm.

Step/Method 4

Feeding. Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the soil, and they particularly like sweet and acidic baits. Poultry manure, domestic sewage, etc. are all their baits. In professional farms, rice bran, sawdust, sludge, pigeon manure and other raw materials are generally fermented to make feed. If it is a family farm, yeast powder can be soaked in water and fed. Feeding is also a key point in red worm production. Feeding in small amounts and multiple times can increase production. Generally, feeding is done once every 3-4 days, and 50 to 100 kilograms of manure is fed per mu each time. It is mixed with water and sprinkled throughout the pond. When feeding, pay attention to the amount of residual bait, and do not blindly feed more, so as to avoid excessive organic matter in the water body causing fermentation to produce toxic substances, affecting production.

4. How to raise red worms in sand?

Put the processed sand into the container. Do not press the sand in the container with your hands. Just pour it in naturally. This way the sand will be looser and easier for the red worms to breathe. After completing this step, spread the red worms evenly on the wet sand (the surface of the sand). Then proceed to the last step. Find a piece of thin cotton cloth, wet it with clean water, cover the red worms with it, and finally place the container in a cool place indoors. The entire insect breeding process is completed.

There are some tricks to breeding red worms. Learning this little method will greatly increase the survival rate of red worms.

Later care methods: If it is winter, you can pour a little water on the cotton cloth every four or five days to ensure the moisture of the insect breeding environment; in the spring when the temperature has not reached above 20 degrees, water it every two or three days. When the temperature exceeds 20 degrees, the container needs to be placed in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping room, and the watering interval is about three or four days.

Summary of insect breeding: This wet sand method of breeding insects is what I came up with after many attempts. I have used it for three or four years and the effect is very good. Compared with breeding insects in clean water and breeding insects in a wet sponge in the refrigerator, it has the advantages of simple maintenance and long survival time. It should be noted that watering must be done on time, otherwise the red worms will die faster as the water evaporates.

5. Where can red worms be placed so that they can live longer?

1. How to store red worms with leftover tea leaves: We drink scented tea every day, and pour the leftover scented tea roots into a container and save them. Go to a fishing tackle store and buy 5 yuan worth of red worms, put them in a container for tea leaves, stir them, and store them in a cool place. When you need them, take out some of them from the container, pick out the red worms and tie them up for use, and put the rest back. Later, pour some of the tea roots you have finished drinking into it to keep the amount of leftover tea leaves. Generally, it can be stored for about 20 days to 1 month. But the temperature must be controlled between 10 degrees and 3 degrees, and the humidity must be maintained. The leftover tea leaves cannot become too dry.

2. Sandy soil storage method: Prepare a plastic basin, preferably with a lid, take 1 part of the black mud from the river, and 2 parts of the coarse sand, mix them together and put them in the plastic basin. Buy red worms for 5 yuan, put them in the middle layer of the container, and cover them with sand and mud. Keep the humidity of the mud and sand, and the temperature is also around 10 degrees (you can put it in the refrigerator, remember not the freezer) and keep it below. You can take a small amount of red worms from the sand and soil, pick them out and use them as a substitute, and restore the red worms and sand and soil when not in use. Mud and sand can store red worms for a long time, and red worms can survive in mud and sand for 1 month to 40 days. Sand and soil can also be replaced with fine wet soil containing about 30% water.

3. Storage method of using fresh orange peels to pretend to be red worms: Taking 50 grams of red worms as an example, first pour the purchased red worms into clean water to wash them, pick out the dead worms, then drain the water, find a container (not plastic), find a piece of cotton cloth to wet it with water, pour the watered red worms on the wet cotton cloth, put it in the container, use 50 grams of freshly washed orange peels, tear them into fingernail-sized pieces with clean hands, pour them into the container containing the red worms, pretend to be red worms, cover with the remaining wet cotton cloth, and put it in the refrigerator. The wet cloth and orange peels can be changed once a week, and pick out the discolored dead worms when changing. It can generally be stored for about 40 days.

4. Method of preserving red worms by washing them with running water: Wash the purchased red worms with water, pick out the dead worms, put them into the worn-out mercerized jackets of lesbians, tie them tightly with a rope and put them into the toilet tank. Tie it with a rope to prevent it from being flushed away when the water is released. If the water does not contain bleach, it can be stored for 15-20 days without any problem.

6. What is the easiest way to raise red worms?

There are many ways to raise red worms. Here I share a simple and practical method of raising red worms using a flower pot.

1. Put a round sponge at the bottom of the flower pot (wet the sponge in water first), put some soil for raising earthworms on the sponge, sprinkle some water on the soil and mix well, not too much water. Spread the purchased red worms on the soil. Get a sponge about 2 cm thick that is as big as the mouth of the flower pot, soak it in water and squeeze it with both hands to make sure there is not too much water in the sponge, and cover the red worms.

2. Place the flower pot in a plastic basin and add three centimeters of water to the plastic basin.

3. Place the plastic basin in a cool and ventilated place, and avoid exposure to the sun; add some water to the plastic basin regularly to keep the water three centimeters deep. In this way, the water in the plastic basin can continuously seep into the bottom of the flower pot, then seep into the sponge at the bottom of the pot, and then seep into the nearby soil through the sponge, so that the soil is always moist, and the red worms can not only survive, but also absorb nutrients in the soil to grow. Regularly soak the sponge covering the red worms in water, squeeze out excess water, and then cover it. When it freezes in winter, place the plastic basin in a non-freezing place indoors to prevent the red worms from freezing to death, and do not cover the flower pot tightly without ventilation to suffocate the red worms.

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 raise red worms? How to raise red worms conveniently?

1. Buy a small amount of red worms and wrap them in paper. Find a piece of newspaper, wet it with water, wrap it up and put it in the refrigerator when you get home.

2. Find a radish and dig a hole to make a nest, raise red worms in it, and then cover it with another piece of radish.

3. Put the red worms in a fine-mesh scoop net and place it in clean water for easy use.

4. Place the red worms in a pot and place it indoors. Make sure to change the water once a day and remove the dead red worms.

5. Feeding bloodworms with glucose solution is actually very convenient and is recommended for those who raise a large number of them. There is no need to feed it in small quantities.

6. If you need to use it, make a sponge box, dip it in water, and take the box to the fishing spot.

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.
