1. How to reproduce the red worms purchased from the market?

How to raise red worms:

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 a great opportunity for us to collect red worms.

2. 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 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 surface of the water 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 reduced. In winter, when the red worms are not seen in the water tank, do not pour out the water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. We 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

How to breed red worms

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 lot, so they should be fed once a day to maintain their growth.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. How to breed red worms?

Step/Method 1

1. The first step is to wash the worms. Wash the red worms in clean water for several times. After washing, let them stand for about ten minutes to wash away the gelatinous substances on the worms (mainly the carbon dioxide breathed by the red worms). This will allow the worms to be stored for a longer time. Whether you buy online or in a physical store, this step is essential.

Step/Method 2

2. Choose a container of appropriate size according to the amount of bloodworms (generally speaking, the container mouth should be larger than the evenly spread area of ​​the worms). Choose a wide-mouth bottle for easy later operation. The container can be made of plastic or glass. Do not choose an iron container. Long-term contact between iron containers and water will cause chemical reactions, thereby accelerating the death of bloodworms.

Step/Method 3

3. Prepare an appropriate amount of sand. It is best to sift it with a dense-hole scoop bag. The amount of sand should account for about two-thirds of the volume of the container. Then wash the sand repeatedly several times to remove the dirt on it.

Step/Method 4

4. 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), and then proceed to the last step. Find a piece of thin cotton cloth, wet it with clean water, cover the red worms, and finally place the container in a cool place indoors. The entire insect breeding process is completed.

Step/Method 5

5. 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 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.

Step/Method 6

6. You can feed it with yeast soaked in water

7. What’s the simplest way to raise red worms?

1. Find a potato and cut it in half at the third part.

2. Hollow out the potatoes, but don't dig through the bottom.

3. Put the unused red worms into the hollowed-out potatoes.

4. Insert two toothpicks into the beans, close the potatoes and tighten them with toothpicks.

After completing the above steps, place them in the refrigerator. Since potatoes have a high starch content, they will not starve to death and can remain fresh for a week or even longer at low temperatures. A simple and practical method for raising red worms.
