Packaged in a breathable bag and securely placed in a USPS box, they can withstand year-round shipping in all seasons.
Meme’s Worms partners with a trusted supplier in Oregon who ships these cocoons directly for us, but you’ll still receive our same outstanding customer service and support, just as if we shipped them ourselves.
Why Choose Worm Cocoons Over Live Worms?
If you’re wondering why cocoons might be the right choice for your composting project, here are some key advantages:
-
Ease of Shipping – A worm cocoon is much more durable than live worms, making it less vulnerable to extreme temperatures or rough handling. This increases the survival rate significantly.
-
Cost-Effective – Shipping costs are typically lower for cocoons since they are smaller and lighter compared to adult worms. This makes them an affordable option to begin or expand your worm population.
-
Better Acclimatization – When cocoons hatch, the baby worms adapt naturally to your local environment. As they grow, they become more resilient and productive Red Wiggler Composting Worms, helping your composting efforts thrive.
-
Storage Flexibility – Cocoons can be stored for longer periods, giving you flexibility to start your worm farm whenever you’re ready.
- Population Growth – Each worm cocoon can produce multiple baby worms, which means your worm population grows naturally and exponentially over time. This is perfect for long-term composting goals.
What to Do When You Receive Your Worm Cocoons
To get the best results from your shipment, follow these easy steps:
-
Inspect the Shipment – When your USPS box arrives, open it carefully. Inside, you’ll find a breathable bag containing the cocoons within living material. Ensure the bedding is moist and the cocoons look healthy.
-
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 – Spread the living material with cocoons gently across the surface of the bin. Cover them lightly with fresh bedding to help regulate moisture and temperature.
- 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.
