DEAR VALUED CUSTOMER, THIS IS THE INFORMATION AND PRICE LIST YOU REQUESTED. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS INORDER TO PROLONG LIFE AND RETAIN THE FRESHNESS OF THE CANADIAN NIGHTCRAWLER. 1.STORE NIGHTCRAWLERS IN A COOL AREA OF 38 TO 42 DEGREES, THIS WILL ENABLE THE NIGHTCRAWLER TO REMAIN DORMANT WHILE STILL RETAINING ITS STRENGTH. THE COMMON HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATOR HAS PROVED TO BE THE PERFECT DEVICE FOR THIS. NOTE WIRING THE LIGHT SWITCH ON WILL HELP KEEP WORMS IN THEIR BOXES. 2.BEDDING FOR WORMS: USING A MICHIGAN PEAT OR CANADIAN PEAT MOSS WHICH YOU CAN USUALLY FIND AT A NURSERY. YOU MAY WANT TO TEST THE PRODUCT FOR CHEMICALS FIRST BY PLACING A HAND FULL OF WORMS ON THE FRESHLY BEDDED BOXES, TO SEE IF THE WORMS GO DOWN IN THE PEAT. IF THEY DON'T GO DOWN THE FOLLOWING MAY BE WRONG: A.CHEMICALS CONTAMINATING THE PEAT WON'T ALLOW THE WORMS TO GO DOWN. B.TEMPERATURE OF COOLER IS TO HIGH.C.SOIL IS TO DAMP AND HAS FLOODED THE WORMS OUT.NOTE: PEAT SHOULD BE DAMP BUT NOT WATER SOAKED. IF ITS THE PEAT PURCHASE ANOTHER BRAND. 3.REBED USING THE FOLLOWING METHOD: PLACE AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF WORMS AND PEAT TOGETHER.EX: 5POUNDS WORMS TO 5POUNDS PEAT. AFTER 4 WEEKS REPEAT, REPLACING THE OLD PEAT WITH THE NEW PEAT. AGAIN REMEMBER TO PLACE THE WORMS ON THE TOP OF THE PEAT ALLOWING THEM TO CLIMB DOWN.THE WORMS THAT REMAIN ON THE TOP ARE WEAK OR INJURED SO DISCARD THEM SO NOT TO SPOIL THE REST OF THE WORMS. ALWAYS HANDLE WORMS IN A ROOM THAT IS COOL AND OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. 4.FEEDING THE WORMS: GENERALLY THE FRESH BEDDING WILL BE ENOUGH FOOD.NEVER FEED THE WORMS CORN MEAL OR LAYING MESH AS THEY CONTAIN PROTEIN AND WILL SPOIL THE WORMS. WE RECOMMEND SOAKING NEWSPAPER IN A BUCKET OF WATER BUT NOT CHLORINATED WATER FOR 24 HOURS. THEN REMOVE THE PAPER AND LET EXCESS WATER RUN OFF. PLACE THE NEWSPAPER ON THE TOP OF WORMS. THIS WILL ALLOW THE WORMS TO COME UP TO THE TOP AND FEED ON THE PAPER.CAN ALSO ADD CRACKED CORN TO TOP OF PEAT FOR ADDED FOOD.NEVER POUR WATER DIRECTLY ON THE WORMS AS THEY WILL DROWN.WITH THE PROPER SOILS,TEMPERATURES AND REBEDDING THESE NIGHTCRAWLERS CAN BE HELD ALL YEAR. YOU MAY USE WORM FEED, FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURES INSTRUCTIONS ON PROPER USE.ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL 1-419-798-4382. RESPECTIVELY,
