{"product_id":"australian-worm-farms-live-bait-worms","title":"European Nightcrawlers – Fishing Worms","description":"\u003cp\u003eEuropean Nightcrawlers, commonly known as ENC, Catchall, Crawlers, or Euros, are a versatile worm species suitable for composting, fishing bait, and wildlife rehabilitation. They share many traits with African Nightcrawlers, Red Wigglers, and Tiger Worms, but are slightly larger in size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese worms are highly efficient composters, capable of consuming up to half of their body weight in organic material each day, helping to break down food scraps and garden waste quickly. While Red and Tiger worms are often the most popular compost worms, European Nightcrawlers are an excellent alternative thanks to their larger size and strong appetite, allowing them to digest even more material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuropean Nightcrawlers thrive in temperatures between 15°C and 25°C, but can tolerate a wider range from 7°C to 35°C. If temperatures fall below 7°C, they should be protected from cold conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese worms will happily consume decomposing organic matter such as leaves, garden waste, food scraps and leftovers. For healthy worm activity, ensure their bedding remains moist, neutral in pH, and not overly hot or acidic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuropean Nightcrawlers are also excellent fishing bait for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. One of their advantages is their resilience — they do not necessarily require refrigeration and can survive well in suitable conditions. However, if you want to extend their lifespan for future fishing trips, they can be refrigerated at 7–9°C, which may keep them alive for up to three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"2234\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"102qzzg\" data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"1817\"\u003eAlso known as ENC, Catchall, Crawlers, or Euros\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"asvyz1\" data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1864\"\u003eSlightly larger than Red and Tiger worms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"12mp3pz\" data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1921\"\u003eConsume up to half their body weight in food daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1yiqsdj\" data-start=\"1922\" data-end=\"1991\"\u003eIdeal for composting, fishing bait, and wildlife rehabilitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"fvmk4w\" data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003eThrive in 15–25°C, tolerating 7–35°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1v76xwe\" data-start=\"2039\" data-end=\"2113\"\u003eEat food scraps, leaves, garden waste and decomposing organic matter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"j6qqxp\" data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2165\"\u003eSuitable for freshwater and saltwater fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1udmvqn\" data-start=\"2166\" data-end=\"2234\"\u003eCan be refrigerated at 7–9°C to extend lifespan up to 3 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Australian Worm Farms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53247291556113,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/1355\/1889\/files\/486708949_674515488423692_8262259008958986465_n.jpg?v=1773452199","url":"https:\/\/lifestylelivinggriffith.com.au\/products\/australian-worm-farms-live-bait-worms","provider":"Griffith Lifestyle Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
