Fact: Most Box Turtles love worms! Earthworms, Nightcrawlers, European Nightcrawlers, etc. are a great source for protein and calcium for your box turtle. Unfortunately, in the winter months for those who keep your young and adult box turtles indoors, the struggle is real to keep a plentiful supply. Especially for those who are a new beginner to the trade. Many box turtle owners on the TFO farm their own, some use sites like www.unclejimswormfarm.com, while others struggle to find a bait shop or store that may sell them locally. Well just to let you know, for those who live near a meijer store, they do keep a stock of bait in the winter months. My store in Ohio provides both nightcrawlers and European Nightcrawlers(Red Wiggler Eisenia Hortensis). Now, I know each meijer store can be different and may use a different vendor, but for those that live near one, I would check out their sporting good section to see if any available. Again, it just might help those in a quick feeder need. FYI All of my worm bin farms started from 4 meijer bought cans many many years ago. Hope this nugget may help and best of luck for all those keeping your box turtles indoors for the winter!
