Disclaimer: Our worms are classified and described as Eisenia fetida /Eisenia andrei based on our breeding lines, supplier records, historical stock separation, and observed performance characteristics consistent with each species.
Due to the extremely close genetic relationship between Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei, and the existence of overlapping traits, cryptic lineages, and documented hybridization in scientific research, species-level identification cannot be guaranteed with absolute certainty without laboratory genetic sequencing of individual specimens.
Routine DNA testing of commercial worm harvests is not practical, and no species classification provided by our operation should be interpreted as a genetic guarantee.
Accordingly, species designations are provided in good faith and represent our best professional judgment, but are not guaranteed for legal, scientific, or regulatory purposes. All worms sold are intended for composting, soil health, and vermiculture use and are collectively considered red wiggler composting worms (Eisenia spp.).
Pure Red Wiggler Composting Worms For Sale
What should I do when my worms arrive?
Bring them inside as soon as possible. Open the box and the bag so they get air. They may seem a little sluggish or dehydrated after a few days in transit and that's completely normal. You can place the worms and their bedding straight into your bin and mist lightly with water.
How many worms should I order?
For a home worm bin, a good starting point is about 1 pound of worms per square foot of bin space. If you're new to composting, start smaller like a half pound or one pound until you're comfortable managing a bin. Experienced composters often go with 2 pounds of worms for every pound of daily food waste. More guide for how much worms I should purchase.
How fast will my worms ship?
We ship composting products every Monday and Tuesday using UPS Ground or USPS Priority Mail. Once shipped, orders typically arrive within 2–3 business days.
Do you ship worms year-round?
Yes, we ship every week, all year. Shipping may shift slightly around extreme heat or cold to protect the worms in transit, but orders keep moving.
I won't be home to receive my delivery, what should I do?
If you will not be home, request a “Hold at Post Office” or “UPS Access Point” to ensure the worms stay in a temperature controlled environment. We recommend letting us know before your worms ships or once your order is confirmed.
Will my worm bin smell bad?
No, not if it's set up right. A healthy bin smells like damp earth, not garbage. Overfeeding or too much moisture are the usual causes of odor, both of which are easy to fix. Check our guides.
Will my worms survive if I live far away, or if it's really hot or cold where I am?
Yes. Each order is carefully packed in breathable, insulated materials and shipped in sturdy corrugated boxes. Once dispatched, most shipments arrive within 2–3 business days in excellent condition. During extreme heat we place shipments on a short weather hold rather than risk them; in transit this protects the worms and doesn't mean your order is forgotten. You'll get a shipping update once we ship.
What happens if my worms arrive dead?
Every order is covered by our Live Delivery Guarantee. If any worms arrive dead, just email us within 2 hours of delivery with a photo or short video, and we'll make it right. It is the customer's responsibility to read our Live Delivery Guarantee to get replacement if your order is DOA.
We guarantee that all composting materials arrive in excellent condition and ready to use. If your package is damaged during delivery, contact us within 2 hours for support. Learn more.

I'm having a ball with my new vermicomposting bin with Meme's red wigglers. I'm a complete novice, and my worms appear to be thriving. On-line payment and on-site pickup was convenient for me too. Meme sends helpful tips and answers to questions to my email, so "the experience" continues. Thanks Meme!
I couldn't be happier with the red wigglers I received! The worms arrived healthy, active, and in excellent condition. You can really tell they were well cared for before shipping. I was honestly impressed by how lively and strong they looked right out of the package. The quality exceeded my expectations, and they settled into my compost bin immediately.
Great prices. Great customer service.
Your reputation precedes you and for good reason! The quality shown in shipping says it all! They quality of the worms were perfect as well! All came to their new home alive and well.
Arrived on time and well packaged. Worms appeared happy and healthy. I especially appreciated the included information since I have never interacted with worms much, other than to toss a few to the robbing who follows me around when I garden.
My worms arrived safe and sound, despite the oppressive summer heat. I spread them out in small trenches that I dug in my (7) raised beds and they immediately became active. Thank you Meme!
Checked on and fed this morning. Growing out well
Worms are doing great.
Love they had bedding to help seed my new bin seeing lots of little critters in there.
As always worms arrived lively, I have bought all my worms from meme and ordered more
Worms arrived healthy in their normal bedding. They seem to have settled well into my bedding. They are eating, growing up, and gaining weight.
First, i’ll memtion temps were in 80-90s. Unfortunately, the worms arrived in a putrid worm slime. The smell was awful. Couldnt get it out of my nose for hours.
The packaging was very wet, with no ventilation holes. I think the worms would have survived had thwor been ventulation holes.
They came on time, alive and active. I put them in my bin and they are doing great!
Absolutely loved how well the worms was packaged and cared for. They are thriving and proud to say already reproducing
They arrived wonderfully
They arrived alive and wiggling!
I am well pleased! When I got them, they were really scrawny (like you said they would!), but I no time they are fat and juicy - and really active! Im just so excited to have worms (maybe TOO excited?) You won'tbe disappointed!
Excellent service! Ups dropped the ball on shipping the first package. The day they should have arrived ups emailed me that the package was destroyed in transit and they would contact the shipper. Meme herself, called me that evening to reschedule. The second package arrived on time and in great shape.
Worms were well packaged and plumped up and happy after adjusting and feeding into their new home.
I had prepped my worm bin a week or more in advance with paper bag bedding, some composted manure, dry twigs and sticks, and scraps to help the microbiology develop for the worms.
I'm hoping they are happy enough to develop cocoons and multiply! They've done very well eating up scraps this far. The large end of a raw broccoli disappeared faster than I expected!
Great service and delivery.
Theyre making soil, Thank you
All alive and healthy but really small
I went with 1/2lb of worms to start my bin but wish I had bought a full pound. My worms were delivered on time and were healthy, active, and ready to go to work! Meme's Worms has given me exceptional customer service by providing thoughtful answers to all my questions in a very timely manner. I'm much appreciative.
My worms were delivered alive and in good condition, as advertised. This is my second time purchasing from Meme's Worms, and both times I've had a good experience.
The team's customer service and human interaction is impeccable!! I had issues with delivery a couple times and each time the team offered solutions according to my needs. My lovely colony of Worms now have a wonderful home and are thriving!!!
Will be purchasing from them again for any worm population needs and help. Thanks so much for all you do!
Fat worms yo
Arrived in good condition. These little guys are workhorses. 💪
Arrived fiesta and in good shape.
My worms arrived alive, and with plenty of good instructions on how to keep them happy and wriggling. A smoothe experience is a careful touch.
Worms arrived alive and ready to work. This was my second order with Meme's. I love how they package the worms. I will definitely be ordering from then next year.
