What kind of temps can these worms handle? I have red worms but it got
about 86* in my house for a few days and they migrated out and died. i live
in the mid south and can’t afford to have my AC really cool about 76 is as
good as i can do. would these crawlers be a bit better bet or do they like
it cool? also for my red worms i used dirt (just top soil without anything
in it.) could this also be a reason for their mass extinction???

Well it sounds like your bin was too wet since it flooded (which brought
the worms to the top). So make sure you dry it out good (add lots of dry
bedding). Yes, the cold weather will also slow them down. They won’t eat as
much or as fast when they are cold.

Based on a quick google search on temperatures for euro nightcrawlers: “The
ideal temperature for most worms is between 55 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
European Nightcrawlers can stand temperatures as low as 45 degrees F. Ideal
growth is achieved between 60° and 70° F.”

*how long did it take your bin to finish *what bedding did you use and i
started a bin a a ten gallon container now. they use to be in a two gallon

Takes 2-4 months for the bin to finish. I recommend people use shredded
paper and shredded cardboard as bedding. If your bedding gets too wet, add
more dry bedding, and leave off the lid for a while. The bin starts to
smell bad if you let it get too wet.

i have a question: my european nightcrawlers never eat from the top of the
bin. They’ll eat the food when i mix it into the bedding but i dont want to
get the whole bin sour. Any help or is there even a way to change this.

The red worms should have been fine at 86 F. If they left your bin and
died, then it was probably due to some other reason. One problem was the
top soil, these are composting worms not soil worms, so they don’t do well
in soil. Go to my website and read a few of the articles I have on how to
raise worms… they will get you started. The red worms and Europeans can
be raised very similarly. Let me know if you have more Q’s.

Yes, you can put the worms in finished compost, but they don’t get much
energy out of composted material so you will still need to feed them other
material(like your waste table scraps).
