Plump, juicy, and highly active live earthworms—the ultimate high-protein staple for large reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
Canadian Nightcrawlers (Lumbricus terrestris) are premium, large-bodied earthworms renowned for their exceptional nutritional value and enticing movement. Packed with essential amino acids, moisture, and calcium, these robust worms are a highly digestible, low-fat staple that quickly triggers the striking reflex of larger insectivores and aquatic predators.

Description
Elevate your pet’s diet with our premium, farm-fresh Canadian Nightcrawlers. These large earthworms are a time-tested favorite among hobbyists keeping large amphibians, reptiles, and aquatic species. Because they are completely soft-bodied and lack a chitinous exoskeleton, they offer an easily digestible meal packed with wholesome nutrition.
Optimal Staple Nutrition
Unlike high-fat treat worms like waxworms or butterworms, Canadian Nightcrawlers are an excellent, lean staple food. Their high moisture content supports vital hydration, while their balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio ensures proper bone and shell development. They are particularly popular for aquatic species like axolotls and large salamanders, as they can survive underwater long enough to be easily hunted.
Why Choose Canadian Nightcrawlers?
-
- Triggers Natural Instincts: Their strong, active wriggling motion makes them highly visible and completely irresistible to predatory species that rely on movement to hunt.
- Gentle on Digestion: Ideal for growing juveniles or recovering animals, as their soft bodies pass smoothly through the digestive tract.
- Versatile Sizing: Because they are large and robust, they can easily be cut into smaller pieces to feed smaller amphibians, fish, or reptiles without losing their movement.
💡 Storage & Care Instructions
- Keep the nightcrawlers in their original container with the provided organic soil or bedding.
- Store them in a refrigerator at a consistent temperature between 4°C and 10°C.
- Keep Moist, Not Wet: The bedding should always feel like a damp sponge. If it starts to dry out, mist it lightly with dechlorinated or conditioned water (do not use chlorinated tap water).
- Note: Keep the container in total darkness (such as a closed fridge) to prevent the worms from crawling out. When kept cool and dark, they will remain healthy and fresh for weeks.
