Red wigglers(Eisenia fetida) are bad for them. They produce a toxic fluid when defending themselves. Nightcrawlers, earthworms and slugs are good foods. Aspen shavings can be ingested and cause all kinds of trouble, even death. Stay away from anything pine also.

i found the lady on here on instagram and she told me about the reds being toxic so i got rid of them and she said to leave him alone for 3 days so im going to do that before putting him on eco earth
