CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What food should I feed red worms when they are kept in the soil (What food should I feed red worms when they are kept in the soil)

1. How to raise red worms at home?

1. Place the bottom mud and red worms in a glass container and add water.

2. Before using tap water, place it in the sun for two to three days.

3. Change the water once a day and cover the container with a red wet towel to keep it moist.

4. The lights cannot be turned off at night. Without light source, the red worms will suffocate and die.

5. Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the soil, and particularly like sweet and acidic baits, such as poultry manure, domestic sewage, etc.

2. 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.

3. What kind of bait do red worms eat?

Bloodworms mainly feed on organic debris in the mud, and particularly like sweet and sour bait. Livestock and poultry manure, domestic sewage, and waste from processed agricultural and sideline products are their main sources of bait.

Bloodworms live in the mud on the banks of rivers or at the bottom of rivers. They are 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. If disturbed, they will immediately retract into the mud. The nutritional value of water earthworms is extremely high. They should be rinsed repeatedly in clean water before feeding. They are a favorite bait for goldfish and koi, and are also the main bait for eel fry and young turtles.

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. How to raise red worms at home?

1. Breeding environment

Red worms, also known as bloodworms, are the larvae of midges. They have a bright red epidermis and are worm-like. To breed red worms, you need to choose an open container with a large air contact area and a shallow depth, disinfect it, then put fresh red worms in it and add river water.

2. Clean regularly

During the growth process of red worms, they will secrete a kind of mucus, which will cause water pollution and deterioration. When breeding, the red worms and containers should be cleaned once a day to clean the mucus on the red worms and the inner wall of the container, and then replace with new river water for breeding.

3. Provide food

Red worms feed on humus in the soil and animal feces. When they are artificially bred, they can be provided with glucose solution or a solution made of yeast powder and water to supplement their nutrition. Red worms eat a large amount of food, so they should be fed once a day to maintain their growth.

6. What are the breeding techniques for red worms?

1. Breeding pond: Bloodworm breeding is generally carried out on a large scale, so a breeding pond is needed. The number of bloodworms to be put in can be determined by the size of the breeding pond, and the water depth. When breeding bloodworms, the water should not be too deep. Generally speaking, 20 to 30 centimeters is more appropriate. In addition, some silt needs to be placed at the bottom of the pond, where bloodworms like to move around.

2. Food: The main food of red worms is plankton and organic debris in the water. When the water is rich in nutrients, the growth rate of red worms will be fast. Therefore, it is best to add some fermented fertilizer to the water regularly, so that the nutrients in the water will be richer. 3. Water quality: It is more appropriate to use river water or pond water to breed red worms, because such water is closer to the native environment of red worms, but tap water is more convenient. But don't use tap water directly. It is best to expose them to the sun for two or three days and wait until the chlorine in them is basically removed before using them. Red worms do not have high requirements for water quality, but water quality is closely related to dissolved oxygen, so water changes must also be done well.

7. What kind of feed is best for red worm breeding bases?

Feeding

Most large-scale professional red worm farms use rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon manure, etc. to ferment and make them into breeding feed. Home-based red worm breeding can use yeast powder soaked in water to feed, but the amount must be controlled.

8. How to raise red worms at home?

To breed red worms, you can choose an open container with a large area exposed to air, then put fresh red worms in it and pour river water into the container to create a moist growth environment for the red worms. If the breeding time is long, the red worms should be cleaned regularly to clean the mucus they secrete.

9. 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.

10. What should you feed the 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.
