I just bought 5lbs of euros and devided them into 2 tubs with shreaded newspaper cardboard and 25% peat moss but i have 3 more tubs i was wondering if they will reproduce more and faster worms per egg if i split them a pound into each tub or left 2.5 lbs in 2 tubs… i just want them to reproduce as fast as possible

What is the difference between euro and red eggs?

It’s official – the extra worm is gone (transferred to another system). It was smaller than I remembered it being, but there is still virtually NO chance that it would have actually come from a cocoon laid in the Euro/Red bin.

THUAN – that’s interesting. Euros can sometimes end up in Red Worm cultures, and they are actually surprisingly tolerant worms across the board (i.e. not just with temperature). I’ve become really fascinated with them, and can definitely see why some people consider them the “ultimate” composting worms. You should transfer them over to their own system and see what happens.

I found about 6 big worms like the pic above which makes me think they are euros. But here’s the thing. I transferred worms around from the worm inn to the new VB24. I never found an euro in the worm inn and last summer was quite hot. I understand that euro don’t do well in heat. I got some more reds for the VB24 2 months ago but did not see any large euros in there and that business only does reds. So if there were cocoons, that is not enough time to hatch and grow. Interesting!

I think I would remove the extra to keep the counts true.
