Hello friends,
I've finally set up a small 100 worm colony, and have been observing them since yesterday.
Though I have a newbie question, not sure if you could help.
The worms mostly dig and move around under the oat... (Can see some of them, as well as their traces, by looking at the bottom of the container.)
But many of them now are just hanging around on the surface. They are somewhat curled up, sometimes partially buried, sometimes fully exposed, and just 'lay' there. I inspected them and touched / poked them, and all of them moved in response, so I am sure they're not dead.
I'm just wondering if you have any ideas what is possibly 'up' with them?
Are they molting? Pupating? Something bothering them?
I put a few carrots in there too, but they don't seem to nibble on it yet.
Thanks!
