Welcome to Worms Alive
Live worms for all occasions…
The primary uses for live worms
- Fishing (in both fresh and brackish waters)
- Feeding your pets (turtles, reptiles, fish, axolotls and birds)
- Worm Composting (also known as vermicomposting or vermiculture)
Worms Alive – live worms for all occasions – specialising in small to medium quantities of European Nightcrawlers for fishing or for feeding your pets, but we also supply Red Wigglers in 500 and 1000 quantities, specifically for use in composting worm farms.
Worms are harvested and packed only after orders are received, so they’re only in their shipping containers for a minimal amount of time.
Fishing
The most popular fishing worms are the European Nightcrawlers. They are larger, have thicker skins (so stay on the hook longer), and are more active under water than most other worms. They can also handle brackish water and very cold water.
I’ve heard time and time again from different fishermen that European Nightcrawlers catch more fish!

Feeding your pets
If your pets are large enough, then Nightcrawlers are the best option. I’ve not heard of any worm predators turning their nose up at them. Nightcrawlers are a particular favourite of Axolotls.
Red Wigglers are a very popular worm amongst the smaller worm predators, but they have a slightly bitter taste that some predators do not like. Other pets that love to eat worms include: birds, turtles, fish, snakes, rats, bearded dragons and other reptiles.
Worm Composting
When it comes to worm composting you need a large quantity of worms! Depending on the quantity of food scraps you intend to compost, you will need a minimum of 1,000 worms. If you have a larger worm farm possibly much more. Red Wigglers are more popular for composting, as they are a less expensive worm.
