also why add coco fiber to the worms bedding?.. I just buy them and put them in the fridge rinse and feed as needed.
never used the baby crawlers so not sure if they are baby night crawler or something else.

I never buy the 'baby' crawlers because it's not strange for them to have red wigglers in them (or be a container full of wigglers). If that happened it might cause some problems. Wigglers aren't poisonous to pacs, but they do excrete a yellow goo that pacs don't seem to like and that is actually poisonous to some reptiles. I just stay away from them.
You can just buy the regular nightcrawlers and cut them into the right sized pieces.

I think I'm seeing things ... all are ok except the albino who's been having problems. They were just a bit rounder looking then usual.

Thanks for the assurance that the dirt is ok they come in -- I actually bought two containers and combined them into one larger container and thought they needed a bit more dirt, thus the coco fiber was added.

They are definitely not red wrigglers as I've bought red wrigglers before. They look like smaller nightcrawlers.

Dont feed the little one as much right now. Maybe twice a week. Wash the worms off before you feed them.

That baby is now about the size of the other albino was when you sent them to me. It eats tiny crickets like a little pig and is doing fine. I've mostly been feeding it very small (<1/4" size) crickets on a daily basis, as much as it will eat in about 10 - 15 minutes, about 6 - 10 crickets depending on their size. I've offered pacman food a couple of times (only 2 or 3 times, about the body size of 1/4" cricket, and then the tiny piece of worm only once last night. Am I feeding it too much?
