Where to buy large worms for feeding?

Post by Terrance »

what is a cheap place to buy big worms for a fahaka? I used to buy red wiggler worms and blackworms, but they seem small for my guy. Is earthworm from the bait shop suitable? I saw some large worms at Walmart that is used for fishing. I remember someone on this forum feeding Walmart worms to their puffer.
Kind regards,
Terrance

+1, the nightcrawlers sold at walmart would work just fine, I feed them to my turtle occasionally as a treat and he LOVES em =P.

The nightcrawlers are too big for my GSP's and so I use red wigglers but as others mentioned you can usually find both at Walmart but Academy or another large sporting goods chain store should have them too.
