Anyone know where to purchase baby earthworms in the pacific northwest? I would like to get some for Tango's babies. I tried googling it, but only came up with red worm stuff. Thanks!

The only place I ever seen selling them was DMF Bait. They are expensive. They only sell to businesses.

Why not just cut up big worms with a pair of scissors ?

I roll over partially rotted logs in the woods.

I don't mind cutting up crawlers, i just wanted to find something they could just eat. Less mess and tiny enough for their little faces. :)

I dig these for my newborns. They live in the left litter or in the fist few inches of soil.

i have found small worms like that in the woods they dont even feel like worms because there is NO slime on them at all and they kinda jump/flip around when ya grab them. if you look real close you can actually see the moth of them opening and closing its really cool looking

I have seen those "baby crawlers - I think is what the container says" from DMF Bait at Walmart. I was wondering if they were ok to feed. I might try some.

You just need to be sure they aren't some kind of compost/red worms.

Call other Wal-Marts in your area. The one by us does not, but the one 10 miles away does. Go figure.
