I've been working in my gardens, getting them ready since it has been so nice out and I've found a few hammerhead worms. They are an invasive species from Asia and eat earthworms. I believe the species is Bipalium kewense, Arrowhead flatworm/planarian. I know there is a risk of parasites feeding wild food, but once the weather is a bit nicer I'll be moving my Eastern box turtle outside anyway so I'm sure it will be eating all kinds of wild bugs. I don't use any chemicals, no herbicides/pesticides/insecticides. Not even any fertilizers, only compost that I make. Has anyone fed their turtle these worms? I've read they have some toxins and still need to look more into it. Anyone have any experience here?
