Disclaimer: Our worms are classified and described as Eisenia fetida or 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.).

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.

- The worms arrived in great condition and three weeks later they are doing great.
- They are eating up all the food I give them! They are doing SO WELL! Growing fat and fat.
- They came in alive and quite active. Seem VERY happy and healthy.
Shipping and ordering were easy and fast. I messaged them with a few questions and they got back to me right away.
Fantastic transaction! Communication was great. Meme called me directly and followed up with email. Order was accurate and as a first time worm buyer, I was pleased there was a note about shipping dry. Will buy from Meme again. 100%
NOT pure red wrigglers, I've found multiple African Nightcrawlers already. Worms arrived extremely immature, with a number of wisps and almost no visible clitella in the batch.
Completely satisfied with my experience. Customer service was excellent. I was kept informed about my delivery. I would highly recommend Meme’s products.
Worms arrived alive and healthy and have adapted very well to their new home! I highly recommend!
Thank you!
My 4 year old LOVES worms so we thought it would be fun to start a worm farm. Ordering our red wigglers was super straight forward & they arrived in good shape after their trip across the country. We tucked them into our worm bin with layers of compost, hay, food scraps & shredded cartons. They’ve been active & doing well!
Pleased with this order as well as the others thanks Meme!
You are do welcome
I run a composting non profit and we have purchased about 10 lbs of worms from Meme's. We are repeat customers. We sell red wiggler starter kits as a fundraiser. Meme's worms are healthy and happy worms!
Thank you for sharing!!
Worms arrived happy and healthy! Earlier than I had anticipated, and I even got quite a few juveniles and wisps added in!!
Samantha is always a joy to talk to, and so helpful and reassuring when I have questions or worries.
Thank you!
Very pleased with my order. Will order again. Thank you Meme
Worms arrived happy and healthy, perhaps a little dry. I really appreciated the emails from MeMe's instructing me how to sign up for informed delivery from USPS!
I have ordered from Meme’s worms several times now, and her worms are hands down the happiest, healthiest worms I’ve ever received! She guarantees pure stock (if that’s what you are looking for), has her shipping process down, guarantees live arrival of worms, and offers the best customer service around. Samatha (the owner) has personally called me on multiple occasions to make sure my worms arrived safely, help me troubleshoot worm challenges, and give business advice. I can’t recommend purchasing your worms or other worm-related products from Meme’s Worms enough!
My entire experience was easy. The worms arrived quickly and in great condition. This is my new go to for composting worms.
So glad you are happy!!
I’m a newbie to the worm world started a year ago small and have purchased a few times. Every time I’ve been well informed about the shipping. I work full time but really close to home so I’m able to run and get them out of the weather with in minutes of delivery. Every order of worms I have gotten seem to settle in pretty quickly with little stress. Would definitely recommend to anyone starting out.
I was a little anxious if the worms would die during transit since the tracking didn’t update for ~4 days, but they arrived safely! It’s been over a week now and they’re doing great. Would absolutely get more in the future!
I couldn’t be happier with my order. I sprayed em down and within a few minutes they had pretty much all burrowed down into their homes and seem to be doing great.
If you want some worms I highly recommend buying them here.
Worms arrived at about 9:15pm.
Box was a little beaten up but worms look good.
Very happy with my purchase! I received the worms 2 days early, received more worms than I ordered, & they are Red Wigglers. I could not be happier with my order and will continue to order and watch your videos. Very, very happy! Thank you Meme!
Beautiful healthy worms, fast delivery, I am very happy!
I am starting up another continuous flow bin and I ordered a BOGO of worms. This bin will get started quickly to produce wonderful castings. Thanks Meme for the offer and beautiful worms. Let's Worm It Up!
