So Brooke and I went to school to check on the fish after our long ice storm weekend plus a snow day today, and I decided to check on the worms and wow, we found a lot of worms. I have to admit, I was a little concerned that we were not seeing the worms move to the food, or much movement at all, but after today… They were all over! I read somewhere that they love avocado and I bought 2 overripe avocados that were discounted at our local grocery story and tossed them in. Where do you think we found worms??? In the avocado peel! I had squished it open and buried it in the dirt/leaves a little and they were all over it! Needless to say, I was excited and relieved! Brooke was my photographer, so excuse the pictures. We even found a baby worm which in my research I learned that they are white for the first few days then they change to the red/brown color. Can’t wait for the kids to give the bins a stir!
