I’ve never tested it, but mine love papaya as much as watermelon. They get papaya as a part of their healthy balanced (varied) diet. 😉 No seeds.

Last year I started my VB34 with 6.7kg of frozen/thawed papaya (from a tree of mine, fruit that possums had gotten to) in with cardboard, dry leaves, etc. left it for a couple of weeks then added worms. I didn’t notice any problems, all seemed to go well.

I mean I understand you may not want to feed nothing but pineapple. But all you need to do is put a little bit in, and you will see worms eat it. Everything in moderation seems to be a good saying for worms too.
