CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What to feed red worms (What 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. 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.

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. 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 raise red worms?

To raise red worms, you must first collect them and then prepare the breeding containers. During the breeding process, you must do a good job of water quality management, light source control, feed feeding, etc. When the number of red worms increases, you must harvest them in time and dry them.

1. Red worm collection

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 a great opportunity for us to collect red worms.

2. Cultivation vessels

When raising 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 in 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. It is best to use a container with a large area of ​​contact with air, because the bloodworms will float to the surface of the water and have a breathing-like movement, so if there are a lot of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a position and die.

3. Light source control

A light source is necessary for raising red worms, and the light source cannot be turned off at night. You can use a small light source (such as a 5-watt night light, etc.) at night, because red worms are too lazy to breathe, and if there is no light source, they will easily die the next day.

4. 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.

5. Harvest and Overwintering

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. 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 above 28℃, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

7. How to raise red worms?

The first thing to pay attention to is the breeding pond and density. You can use a cement pond 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 pond.

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.

8. How to raise red worms at home?

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.
