Euro Nightcrawlers Worms 5 lb Pack for USA (shipping included)

Product Information

Five (5) lb pack of the European Nightcrawlers (approx 2250 worms). USPS flat rate Shipping via Priority Mail nationwide included. 2-3 days delivery in almost all areas of the continental USA. These worms are grown and dropped shipped by other professional growers from various locations in the US (Our specialty is Eisenia Fotida) .

These NightCrawlers are much larger and better for fishing bait than the Red Wiggler (Eisenia Fotida).

The European Nightcrawler is also known as the giant redworm. Scientifically, it has been known both as Dendrobeana and Eisenia Hortensis; the latter now being the more official name.

They grow to be 3-8 inches long, and are 2 or 3 times bigger than their smaller cousins, the red wigglers (Eisenia Fotida). When they are not stretched out, they are as thick as a pencil.

Euros are wonderful fishing worms. One customer reported catching four fish on one worm! They are the only worm to survive brackish salt water, and they are very cold resistant. When tested in the icy waters of northwestern British Columbia, the worms were still very active after 30 minutes in the water. Another Benefit is that European Nightcrawlers do not need to be refrigerated, as the Canadian Nightcrawlers do. They can survive in a bait cup for 3 weeks, or even longer if you take care to add some water and food. How about getting one of our Worm Factories and growing and storing your own source of worms??

Besides fishing, all our worms are a tasty, high protein treat for turtles, frogs, koi, birds, and lizards, etc.

Not all the votes are in on the European nightcrawler as a composting worm. Most of the information we have collected on the Euro suggests that they are good for composting. The euros are certainly better for larger foods that aren't as broken down, or for leaves and other tougher material that has not been pre-composted. The Euro can also tolerate higher levels of moisture than the red wiggler, and has been successfully used in paper sludge processing operations. Although, we know that the Eisenia Fotida are excellent "stay at home" type worms. Where the name of the Euros might suggest they are "Night Crawlers".

Euros can be successfully introduced to most garden environments. They are mid range dwellers and will till and aerate your soil for you, while supplying valuable castings.
