They prefer cool conditions and will generally stop reproducing at temperatures above 65°F (18°C). For best results, maintain the culture between 50–60°F (10–16°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Worms are easy to feed and we have had equally good results using fish flake food, bread or instant oatmeal. Place the food in a single pile in the centre of the culture and cover it with a small piece of glass or tile. The worms will congregate in clumps around the food making them very easy to harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the culture dark as White Worms are sensitive to light. When provided with cool temperatures, adequate food and suitable conditions the population will multiply steadily. Once a well established culture is producing heavily you can often harvest fresh White Worms every day.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eConsider using a wine cooler to house your White Worm cultures.
