These are European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia hortensis), which are slightly smaller than our other Canadian variety. While mature Canadian Nightcrawlers can average between 3.5-6", European Nightcrawlers average between 4-5" when mature, but at time of sale average 1.5"-2.25".

Nightcrawlers are a nutritious snack for your pet reptiles or amphibians! A wide range of exotics love nightcrawlers, especially aquatic and box turtles, newts, salamanders, and Pac-Man frogs.

We sell 25 nightcrawlers (plus an overcount) in a 16 oz container. European Nightcrawlers do not need to be stored in the fridge, and are hardy in a much wider range of temperatures than Canadian Nightcrawlers. This makes these worms much better suited for summer shipping in many cases. While they are tolerant of temperatures between 38-90 degrees, the temperature range where they are happiest is between 60-70. These worms can keep for 2-3 weeks without feeding if kept at cooler temperatures, however to extend their shelf life especially if kept at room temperature we suggest giving them a supplemental food source.

We also offer a worm food that can be used for gutloading or as a boost for colony growth!
