Hi Laurie,
Unfortunately, breeding either bait species in small farms is not very successful.
It is also not a one -step-one-farm process.
I usually tell people this up front so they arent disappointed later.
I won’t actually STOP you from buying worms from me and trying – but that is really up to you . . . . 😉
I only sell large sized africans and euros, suitable for bait.
Best advice would be to read read read and do some research yourself.
A great place to start is all the free info and guides I put on my website 😉
Here is an article that I wrote for more information –
If you make a bait bucket like I show you, and store the worms correctly, you’ll get 4 to 8 weeks out of them.
I have customers doing this regularly for feeding pets.
I even had worms in a bucket like that for 3 to 4 months without issues – they just got a bit smaller as all they had to eat was cardboard.
You can buy bait sized bait worms on my website for delivery here
