I don't believe these are safe. Red implies that they're dyed unlike Red Wigglers which are red naturally in color. Always stay away from most fishing bait. Way Mart sell some Night Crawlers that are chemical and dye free, but I myself have never purchased mine from there.

What store(s) do you recommend for night crawlers?

I buy mine at a local per store, but Petsmart usually carries good Night Crawlers. I would like to have my own culture, but they require low temps usually in the 40°s so I'd have to buy a cooler to keep them in.

I get mine from Walmart and they are fine and cheaper than Petsmart even with my discount we don't have the dyed ones here though but I'd avoid them like the plague (for reference petsmarts are fish bait to Griff just different company supplies them to us)

[KINGblackPHINEX]

ok well i do not think they are dyed though and if they were how would i know? also how do you reply with that box that says orginally posted by? because i would like to learn how to do that

I know that their bait, BUT they don't contain dye or chemicals to attract fish. They're just plain Night Crawlers.

If they don't contain dyes or chemicals it should say so on the container.

If you want to reply to a specific person then under their reply should say "Reply with quote" select that and it will place the specific person's reply with shod around it.

No. That isn't worms that they place in the enclosure to clean it. Those are Isopods. Like Springtails and Saulbugs(Rollie Pollie, Wood Louse, Potato Bugs or whatever other name people have for them). These Isopods eat decaying wood and fungus. Earthworms and Night Crawlers don't. Unless its ground into the soil.

So why would anyone even think of putting them into the encloser lol thats kind of odd

Sooooo someone told you to put worms in the enclosure to help clean it????

[Deac77]

The red trout worms are just BIG red winglers I took a good look at them today at Walmart and red the box

[KINGblackPHINEX]

Sooooo someone told you to put worms in the enclosure to help clean it????

they didnt tell me but i saw on another website that said it would be fine and they would probably help keep the soil clean and do stuff to keep it nice or whatever thats what they said i was just wondering i saw this on another site and i even thought it was kinda weird im not sure but no they did not tell me they told someone else it would add more realisticness also to there habitat

[Deac77]

These worms you buy would die very fast they need low temps an it would just make it worse when the dead bodies began to decompose and may cause a infection

Yeah I don't believe the people you were reading this from knew what they were doing, but you were not afraid to ask so good on you:

I guess you can feed them to your frog, but I must warn you that if they are large Red Wigglers then your frogs may only eat them a couple times. Red Wigglers release a noxious secretion when they feel threatened or are injured. The secretion smells bad and I'm certain it tastes as bad as it smells. Its a defence mechanism yo deter predators.

[Deac77]

I'd just buy night crawlers and chop EM up! Haha

African night crawlers work great. They are a little smaller than canadian nightcrawlers, but they are able to withstand temps in the 70s. I have been raising them for a year. These worms will eat frog poop if left in the cage, I actually dispose of all my frogs poop by feeding it to my worms.

The worms basically live in compost so I see no harm in doing that.

i know this is a bit late, but in my fishing experience, red trout worms are the same thing as red wigglers. if in doubt, post a pic and we can verify. the wigglers do give off the noxious secretions, but i'm still going to try. night crawlers are probably better and easier to find though. any gas station will have them.
