Our Worm Cocoons (Eisenia fetida) are a simple, reliable, and eco-friendly way to start or expand your composting setup. Each order includes cocoons embedded in rich, biologically active material to preserve freshness and composting potential during transport.

Unlike adult worms, cocoons are naturally resilient — making them the ideal choice for safe, temperature-stable shipping year-round. Every batch is prepared under careful conditions and packaged in breathable, compost-safe material for optimal preservation.

Meme’s Worms partners with a trusted supplier in Oregon to deliver these cocoons directly to customers, ensuring consistent quality and fast fulfillment. You’ll still receive our same excellent customer support and composting guidance from start to finish.

Why Choose Worm Cocoons Over Adult Worms?

If you’re wondering why cocoons might be the right choice for your composting project, here are some key advantages:

• Easier Handling & Transport – Cocoons are more durable and stable during transit, reducing stress and improving success rates in any climate.
  
• Cost-Effective Startup – Because cocoons are lightweight, they offer a lower-cost entry into composting or scaling your current setup.
  
• Natural Acclimation – When cocoons hatch, the emerging composting worms naturally adjust to your local environment, ensuring stronger, longer-lasting colonies.
  
• Flexible Timing – Cocoons can be safely stored in their bedding until you’re ready to start your composting bin.
  
• Natural Growth Potential – Each cocoon hatches multiple Eisenia fetida worms, allowing your population to multiply naturally over time — ideal for long-term vermicomposting goals.

What to Do When You Receive Your Worm Cocoons

To get the best results from your shipment, follow these easy steps:

• Inspect the Package – Your breathable composting pack will contain moist bedding and cocoons within biologically active material.
  
• Prepare Bedding – Create a comfortable home by filling a bin with bedding material such as shredded cardboard, coconut coir, or newspaper. We recommend Meme’s VermiFusion Blend. Bedding should be moist but not soggy.
  
• Introduce the Cocoons – Gently spread the living material with cocoons across the surface of the bin and cover lightly with fresh bedding.
  
• Maintain Conditions – Keep the bin in a stable environment, ideally between 55°F and 77°F. Check bedding moisture regularly and adjust as needed.
• Monitor Hatching – Over the next few weeks, you’ll notice baby Red Wiggler Composting Worms emerging from the cocoons. As they mature, they will burrow, feed, and multiply, turning organic waste into nutrient-rich worm castings.
