Harvesting baby worms

18 years ago

Hello everyone,

I have a worm bin that is just in a large plastic tub, it's not the best setup but it's getting me started.

Part of the reason I started a worm bin was to have a supply of worms to feed my tropical fish through the winter(sorry if that offends any worm huggers on the forum). I've recently found the bedding full of very small white worms, a friend told me they are baby worms. It just so happens that I'm currently raising baby fish, so if I could feed them baby worms that would be great.

So my dilemma is how to harvest the baby worms? The adult worms I just hand pick but I don't know how to get the baby worms separated from the bedding? Is there anything that I could put into the worm bin that would attract the babies that I could then remove and wash the babies off? I was thinking of something like an apple slice, would that work?

thanks in advance for any help.
