Worm Food

Do you like to eat? Worms like to eat, too. Worms will eat up to half their body weight. Worms will eat: fruit and veggie scraps like stems and peels, cleaned and crushed eggshells, cereal, beans, rice, pasta, coffee grounds, dead or wilted flowers, dry grass clippings, and leaves. For a treat, worms like to eat watermelon, cantaloupe rind, mango skin, banana peel, avocado skin, and pumpkin. All websites might not agree on what like worms like to eat, so check out a few websites and then pick what you want your worm to eat. I hope your worm like what you picked! Happy Worming!
