Is this a problem?
Redworms turning gray
All worms eat the same thing, coffee ground, cardboard,kitchen straps & old bread. But only a few worms are Gray, all seem fine.
I have that problem (?) occasionally. A couple of the worms will be a strange color, mostly lighter than the others. I was told by a very knowledgeable person, that this was no problem. Once, I even took some of the gray worms and separated them into a small container. They all lived & turned back to a normal color after a few days.
joji, appologies for the late response, I've been on sabatical from DG for a while. I have four large plastic bins I use for my worm cultures and the larger worms are often a grayish color. By larger I mean upwards of four inches long. Typically red wigglers in leaf piles don't reach more than two inches in length, and are a dark red color. I use peat moss as my worm bin media and typically the adult worms a large enough to use as bluegill bait.
