Red Wiggler Eisenia Fetida Cocoons. Welcome to your one-stop shop for premium Red Wiggler Eisenia Fetida cocoons! Our offering includes over 4000 cocoons nestled in rich, living material, ensuring they arrive healthy and ready to hatch. Shipped in a breathable bag and securely placed in a large flat rate USPS box, our cocoons are designed to withstand year-round shipping, providing you with peace of mind regardless of the season or weather conditions.

**Why Choose Cocoons Over Live Worms?**

1. **Ease of Shipping**: Cocoons are more resilient than live worms, making them less susceptible to the stresses of transit. This ensures a higher survival rate upon arrival.
2. **Cost-Effective**: Shipping costs for cocoons are typically lower than for live worms due to their compact and lightweight nature.
3. **Acclimatization**: Cocoons hatch into worms that are already acclimated to your local environment, resulting in healthier and more productive composting worms.
4. **Longevity**: Cocoons can be stored for longer periods compared to live worms, offering greater flexibility in timing your vermiculture projects.
5. **Population Growth**: Starting with cocoons allows for a natural and exponential growth in your worm population, as each cocoon typically contains multiple baby worms.

**What to Do When You Receive Your Cocoons**

1. **Inspect the Shipment**: Carefully open the USPS box and remove the breathable bag containing the cocoons. Check to ensure the material is moist and the cocoons appear healthy.
2. **Prepare the Bedding**: Set up a bin with suitable bedding material, such as shredded newspaper, cardboard, or coconut coir. Ensure the bedding is moist but not waterlogged.
3. **Introduce the Cocoons**: Gently spread the living material containing the cocoons across the surface of the prepared bedding. Cover them lightly with additional bedding to provide a comfortable environment.
4. **Maintain Conditions**: Keep the bin in a location with consistent temperature and humidity levels, ideally between 55°F and 77°F. Ensure the bedding remains moist, checking it regularly.
5. **Monitor Progress**: Over the next few weeks, monitor the cocoons for hatching. You should start to see baby worms emerging and burrowing into the bedding. Continue to maintain optimal conditions to support their growth.
