PLEASE ADVISE YOUR CUSTOMERS ABOUT OUR WORM SHIPPING POLICIES! The European Nightcrawler is also known as the giant redworm. Scientifically, it has been known both as Dendrobeana and Eisenia Hortensis; the latter now being the more official name. They grow to be 3-8 inches long, and are 2 or 3 times bigger than their smaller cousins, the red wigglers (Eisenia Fotida). When they are not stretched out, they are as thick as a pencil. Besides fishing, all our worms are a tasty, high protein treat for turtles, frogs, koi, birds, and lizards, etc. Not all the votes are in on the European nightcrawler as a composting worm. Most of the information we have collected on the Euro suggests that they are good for composting. The euros are certainly better for larger foods that aren't as broken down, or for leaves and other tougher material that has not been pre-composted. The Euro can also tolerate higher levels of moisture than the red wiggler, and has been successfully used in paper sludge processing operations. Although, we know that the Eisenia Fotida are excellent "stay at home" type worms. Where the name of the Euros might suggest they are "Night Crawlers". Euros can be successfully introduced to most garden environments. They are mid range dwellers and will till and aerate your soil for you, while supplying valuable castings. See Also
