After starting your vermiculture, it will be very important to know how to properly feed your worms so that they grow well and healthy. This article will teach you how to feed worms in a vermiculture.
Steps
Step 1. Find out what your worms like
As with a pet, it will also be important for a worm to eat what they like! Worms are very happy to eat the following things:
Most fruit and vegetable scraps (see exceptions in the next step).
Remnants of your juicer (but not the lemon).
Cardboard pieces - be sure to moisten them a little and cut them into small pieces first).
Paper, handkerchiefs, paper tickets, etc.
Your hair - clean your brushes and give the hair you find to your worms!
Coffee grounds.
Egg shells.
Banana peels (worms particularly like these).
Leaves.
Step 2. Learn what NOT to give your worms
There are a few things that worms don't like or can even hurt them. Don't feed the following to your worms:
Any sour fruit - and that is, above all, tomatoes, lemons and fruits of the same family and kiwi. Many tropical fruits are also acidic.
Banana peels
Dairy products, such as cheese, yogurt, or cream.
Pasta.
Bread, brioches, cakes.
Meat fish
Spicy food
Step 3. Feed the worms about once a week
Either way, check how much they eat - if they run out of food sooner, you'll need to give them more frequently.
Intestinal parasites, more often referred to simply as "worms", are quite common in adult cats and kittens. The contagion occurs in several ways. Pups can ingest eggs through their mother's milk, juveniles can become infected with hookworms through skin contact, and tapeworms enter the body by ingesting infected fleas, rodents and rabbits.
If you have pet fish or reptiles to feed, raising mealworms at home is a great way to save some money and ensure your pets get proper nutrition. Mealworms are actually larval beetles, so breeding them also means breeding mature beetles in order for them to reproduce.
Intestinal parasites, such as worms, are very common among dogs and puppies, especially when they spend a lot of time outdoors. There are four species of worms that can infest puppies, each causing different symptoms and life-threatening problems.
Dogs, especially when they are puppies, are often infested with parasites, including worms. Owners often do not notice anything until the problem becomes evident and the animal falls ill. The vet is able to spot it, but the dog may have worms even when the stool tests are negative.
Whether they live exclusively indoors or spend time outdoors, cats can become infected with intestinal parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms and hookworms. Puppies often contract worms from their mother's milk, while adult ones can accidentally catch them by eating worm eggs or other infested parasites themselves.
