How to raise red worms?

Red worm is the best bait for fish, which contains high protein, and it is also one of the hot foods comparable to snails on the dinner table in foreign countries in recent years. Of course, red insects are generally raised to feed goldfish or go fishing, so how to raise red insects? as long as it is done in accordance with the editor's method, we can certainly raise it well, let's take a look!

Red worm collection

Red insects like to live in fat water with slow currents. Late spring and early autumn every year is the season when red insects multiply in large numbers. They float on the water surface and often make the water brown-red. This is an excellent opportunity for us to collect red insects.

Culture utensils

When raising a small number of red worms in the family, the pond sludge can be taken back together with the red insects and placed in pots or glassware, preferably soaked in river water. if you breed with tap water, you should bask in the tap water for 2 to 3 days in advance and go out to bleach and other substances. Change the water every other day. To prevent frost in winter, put wet red cloth strips on utensils to moisturize. It is most suitable to use a container with a large area of contact with the air, because the red worms will float to the surface to have similar breathing movements, so if there are a large number of them, they are afraid that they will not be able to compete for a place and die.

Light source control

The light source is necessary for raising red worms, and the light source can not be turned off at night. You can use a small light source (such as a 5-watt night light, etc.) to illuminate it at night, because the red worm is too lazy to breathe. If there is no light source, it is easy to die the next day.

Feed feeding

Large-scale professional red worm farms mostly use rice bran, saw, incense coke, bagasse, sludge, pigeon dung and other fermentation to make breeding feed, while family breeding red insects can be fed with yeast powder, but the dosage must be controlled.

Harvest overwintering

When the number of red insects increases, it should be harvested and dried in time. In late autumn and winter, the fecundity of red worms is greatly weakened. when red worms are not visible in the tank, do not pour out the water in the tank, because they are lurking in green algae and can be placed near the sunny room or radiator. In the spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worm comes out again. When the room temperature rose to more than 28 ℃, the red worm began to multiply in large numbers.
