All earthworms eat decaying organic matter such as leaves, grass, and other "green waste". Our farm-raised earthworms are fed high-protein chicken laying mash as explained in Earthworm Care and Feeding. You may also consider feeding ground kitchen waste. See Vermicomposting for additional information regarding this feeding method.

Earthworms will generally eat their own weight daily. Half of everything they eat turns into viable plant food(earthworm castings) which is directly assimilated. See similar questions...

When I first found my starling (rescued him from the neighbor's cat), he had gape worm (worms in his trachea, that caused him to cough). My vet cleared up the gape worm and the feather lice with Ivermectin. Earthworms are listed as an intermediate host for gape worm, so I wouldn't feed earthworms to my starling. I have fed him mealworms and crickets from a pet shop, and also garden spiders from a yard that I know isn't sprayed with any pesticides. See similar questions...

Surprisingly, no. Anatolians tend to be "easy keepers", and an adult Anatolian will eat between 40 to 60 pounds of premium quality dog chow a month. As a puppy, an Anatolian should be fed a premium puppy food for the first year. Some breeders will use puppy food for the first 18 months, and then switch to a good adult food.

The average pound of red worms will contain between 800 - 1200 earthworms at various stages of development. See similar questions...

Less cultivation encourages beneficial insects (beetle and spider predators) as well as allowing the build up a larger earthworm population and biomass. Shallower cultivation/ direct drilling keeps trash on the soil surface which helps to stabilise soils and also builds soil health and structure which can reduce the risk of soil erosion if done correctly.

Drinking too much soda can throw you into a “sugar high.” Be aware how much sugar you are taking in. The high may feel good, but don’t forget you will come back down. See similar questions...

They will eat just about anything! There are commercial poultry foods available at local feed stores, or you can make your own mix. People feed chickens corn, oats, wheat, rye, soy, fresh greens from the garden (weeds as well), table scraps (they love spaghetti!), worms and other bugs. The local grocery stores and markets often have vegetable scraps available. Variety is the key to good health, just like us! See similar questions...
