CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to cultivate red worms (How to cultivate red worms)

1. How are red worms cultivated?

It is advisable to choose a cool and humid environment, and the density of red worms should not be too high.

Water source: Red worms are afraid of pungent odors. If they are raised with tap water, they must be exposed to the sun for a few days to remove the chlorine.

Cleaning: Clean the breeding pots and dead red worms in time to keep the red worm breeding pots clean.

Feeding: Glucose can be used directly for feeding, 2-3 times a week, a few milliliters at a time.

2. How to cultivate red worms for feeding fish?

How to cultivate bloodworms for fish feeding:

1. Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow flow. Late spring and early autumn every year is the season when red worms reproduce in large numbers. They float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red. This is an excellent opportunity to collect red worms.

2. When breeding a small amount of bloodworms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the bloodworms 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. In winter, you need to prevent freezing and put 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 the air, because the red worms will float to the water surface 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. The light source cannot be turned off 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 breeding farms, most of which ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make breeding feed. For home breeding of red worms, you can use yeast powder soaked in water to feed them, but the amount must be controlled.

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 weakened. In winter, when you can't see the red worms in the water tank, don't pour out the water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. You can put the water tank in a sunny room or near the radiator. In spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worms come out again. When the room temperature rises to above 28℃, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

3. What is the easiest way to raise 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

During the process of breeding red worms, the water quality 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 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.

5. How to cultivate red worms artificially?

1. Breeding method: The red worms in the breeding pond will generally lay eggs and reproduce in the spring of each year. At this time, fermented organic fertilizer should be regularly sprinkled into the pond to provide food for the red worms. After entering the summer, the pond water should be appropriately deepened. The water depth should be about 40-50cm. The red worms can be caught after they grow up.

2. Breeding method: Collect adults in late spring and early autumn during the day, collect them in the box in the evening and keep the temperature at 23-25℃, and the humidity should be maintained at 80-90%. After the adults 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.

6. How are red worms cultivated?

Prepare a container with a wide mouth, put some river sand and river water, and then put in the red worms. Place the container in a place with light and keep it in light for 24 hours. Feed them at a fixed time and place every day. You can choose yeast powder soaked in water, sugarcane bagasse, rice bran, etc. as food. When the number of red worms increases, harvest them in time and dry them in the sun.

7. What’s 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.

8. How to cultivate red worms?

When the weather turns cold, we must be careful not to let the insects suffer from cold. If the insects live in an environment below 10℃ for a long time (such as 2-3 days), or below 5℃ for several hours, it will be difficult for the insects to recover even if they are brought to a suitable temperature, which will greatly shorten their lifespan.
