There are several types of worm species that can be farmed and/or bought outright should you need them for "pet food". And that way, you can definitely feed your pets Wiggler redworms at home as an alternative to what the market is currently making (e.g. turtle pellets, fish scales, bird seed). Not only are these worms good for composting and organic gardening, but these versatile little creatures (typically 1 to 2 inches long) are also good for feeding your pets. You can safely use these worms as food for your fish and other invertebrates (like birds, frogs, turtles) as well.
Feeding your pets (especially marine animals) this type of worm (also known as Eisenia Foetida) will give them the nutrients they need because these worms are high in protein (80% content). These treats for your pets are also considered to be one of the healthiest things you can give them. Remember that it is also beneficial for your pets to eat these worms whole to get all of their nutrients, rather than eating them in small pieces. However, the size of the meals can also depend on the size of your pets. You can also try drying these worms and then grinding them into pieces and then using them as a food ingredient.
