CalciWorms substrate?!

[imcallumwbu]

Hi there, so I decided to order a few tubs of phonix worms, and I got a shock when theu arrived in dirt! I will nit be getting these again, unless I can find a way to seperate every grain of dirt so my beardies arent ingesting any of it. Does anyone know of the best way to do this? Other than individually picking them out one by one and cleaning them?

Easier said than done. Once they get wet the worms get a little sticky. :mrgreen:

Ill hair dry them, heat might make them wriggly too

just asking, cuz they appear like mad, in my compost bin that's only rabbit poo.
