  3. First time 2 pounds of red wigglers now five months old they have really

  5. I put a thick layer wood shavings/bedding (like for hamsters) on mine just

  7. I bought special blankets for my worms off ebay, promised that these little
    mini-blankets would keep my worms from getting cold. (joking!) I’m gonna
    have to try that russian tea you mentioned, only because i’m so interested
    in the flavor.
