    I used aspen shavings for about five days before getting paranoid that mine were going to drag their food into it and switching it out.
    Yeah I thought about worms, he just ate some finely chopped pinkie parts, but you are right the more squishy water content the better. I will call the local gas station and ask if they carry earthworms, I know they sell bait just not sure what kind.

    I really don't think you have to do anything special. At this point, he is in control of the situation. Make sure he has water and let him do his thing. Simple as that.
