Nightcrawler Care
Nightcrawlers are to be stored at an approximate temperature of 35-37ºF. Keep in mind that these are not the same worms you will find in your yard. They are direct from Canada and are accustomed to cooler temperatures. Storing them at a temperature higher than the recommended will significantly reduce their life span. Cupped nightcrawlers will last several weeks if properly cared for. It may become necessary to replace the topsoil they are in if you have them for more than four weeks. High quality topsoil will go a long way to keep your nightcrawlers healthy. Bulk nightcrawlers need to be immediately placed in high quality topsoil and moved to a temperature-controlled environment.
