[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 222533, member: 29323"] Moisture is provided via fruit or veg. Something cheap (ish) like potatoes is fine. Change this every other day to avoid mold. For substrate use something like bran or porridge, but nothing instant. That is use natural, unmolested bran, porridge etc & only use 1 to 2 inches. Room temperature is fine & as mentioned above deep substrate overheats them & thus kills them. Over active or worms pulling into a C-shape is a sign it's getting too hot for them. Ventilation is important. Among other things, it stops your substrate from being mouldy. Dead worms turn black & these obviously need to be removed asap. Expect 6 months life span from your worms if you are looking after them properly & potentially as much as one year. [/QUOTE]
