For the most part, you don’t have to worry if your worm population outgrows your farm. In many cases, the older, weaker worms will die off and make room for the younger worms. The more immature worms will eat their weight, as juvenile worms require more nutrients than the older worms will. The Entertainer has announced the newest launch of Fugglers with the Laboratory Misfits Edition, which are set to hit shelves this month. The cocoons start as clear, then turn white, yellow, and finally reddish-brown when ready to hatch. After the pupa matures, the worm is ready to come into the soil as a hatchling. This process is about 23 days. As long as all of the conditions are correctly met, the earthworm should start to peek its head out.

Having recently adopted a new family pet in our lovely cat Louie, I have absolutely adored having a new addition to the family; the same can’t be said when Charlie was recently sent a Fuggler to live in our house. Charlie could not wait to meet his new pal but I opened the box with trepidation of this hideous new beast that was going to be sleeping under our roof. Charlie is almost ten and he’s showing a few signs of turning into a full-blown grumpy teenager already so I felt that adopting a Fuggler could potentially be like lighting a fuse and creating as rather gruesome twosome – and I was right. And it worked. It turns out that Fugglers don’t like adults, what with all their rules and how incredibly uncool they are and after a while I found Charlie and Barry settling into early teen life. They enjoyed chilling out playing Xbox together and Barry turns out to be quite the whizz at Fortnight apparently. I asked Charlie if he could have a word with Barry about his behaviour and he did, so I have let Barry stay with us as Charlie has really found a great buddy in old Bazza. But, as long as she makes herself useful I guess. (P.S. If these are your glasses sorry, I have no idea where she got them from). You would then need to add bedding, the correct amount of food, and worms. Be careful not to overcrowd your worms in the beginning. For guidance, read Vermicomposting: How Many Worms Are Needed? What is a Red Wiggler? They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays.Red Wiggler worms are probably the most popular worm for vermicomposting. The larvae are not as ideal for composting as the fully developed Red Wiggler (Eisenia Foetida). Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store.

This is a post from Sam, co-founder of Dafuq Is Dis and SEN Mummy of 3 boys Alex (9, ASD & ADHD), Foley (6, PDA) and Harrison (3). She works with me looking at the weird and wonderful side of the internet as well as testing toys for older children. Of course, a Fuggler review sounded right up her alley. What on earth are Fugglers?

For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Red Wigglers need oxygen to survive; they produce carbon dioxide like most other land animals. They digest the oxygen molecules through their skin, so they can also survive underwater for a time as long as the water is well oxygenated. Otherwise, they can drown. But having moist bedding can help the worms breathe a little better. That is until she met the cat. She seemed most impressed by him, and asked if we had any plans to mount his head on the wall like the dinosaur she’d found in the living room earlier…

You can grow your red wigglers. Red wigglers will reproduce every 90 days and double their occupancy. You need to have adequate space and food for them to reproduce, and there are no dominant traits to take into consideration. Although it can be tempting to throw all of your food waste into the composting bin, it will undoubtedly lead to a disaster. You want to feed your worm’s organic material. This concept means that you supply the worms uncooked things that grew naturally, or you feed them things that are cooked, but with no additives or preservatives. The Red Wiggler will consume up to half of its weight in nitrogen (food waste) and paper or leaves (carbon) daily. The feeding ratio for food scraps is 2:1 per worm. If you have one pound of red worms, then you need ½ of a pound of food per day. Don’t over-science it though. Start with smaller amounts of food and increase servings until you find the right balance. Fugglers were founded in 2010 by a British woman known as Mrs. McGettric, who created the concept after encountering individual denture teeth and envisioning them as looking funny on teddy bears. We agreed to let a Fuggler into our home but we weren’t at all prepared for the trouble she (yes, it’s a female Fuggler) was about to cause.nightcrawler, can easily be confused with the red wiggler. The blueish tint is what will give away its Not content with a name, and a job, the next time I took my eyes off of Karen she’d chopped up one of my t-shirts to make an outfit for herself. I am presuming in a Toy Story style revolt against this new beast taking up residence, the toys staged a protest and put their toughest men on the front line. Unfortunately, Barry chewed up the Ultimate Warrior and Razor Ramone out of the WWE and yep, you guessed it, used his gaffer tape that I was bamboozled by. He will keep on eating and eating and eating
