    Is there anyone in the Cape Town area that is successfully cultivating whiteworms?
    I am looking for advise and also to buy/trade a starter culture.
    TIA

    Great, I would really appreciate that.
    How are you cultivating them at the moment?

    Yip, whiteworms and microworms are not the same thing. I already have 3 cultures of microworms going at the moment.
    Always have more than 1 cutlture going, just in case 1 crashes.
    I would be interested in how you are culturing yours ACE. I will start a new thread to share with others.

    I'm cultivating them in damp peat, they eat bred, rice fish food and sometimes carrots. they however dont like this heat we got goin at the moment. Apparently they can be kept in the fridge but my better half would be in histerics if she knew i considered this LOL...

    Any specific peat that you have been using that works well?
    I have head of guys putting the containers of worms in cooler boxes and then putting in frozen bottles of water to help keep them cool.
