How many worms are enough for a 6'L X3'w X 2'H bioactive redfoot enclosure

[Grimmlord]

I have a large enclosure I built for my 3 redfoot torts and I'd like to know how many worms would be enough for that size? I already have springtails in there as well. Are there anything else I can add that wont be a nuisance but be beneficial? Sorry glass is foggy from humidity lol

I usually just add a whole container, 40-50 worms. You can also use rolly pollies (Isopods).

I’m guessing you are looking to add Red Wriggler ‘composting” type worms and not normal night crawler types? I have a large composting bin that is worked on by my red wriggler decomposters. Whats good about red wrigglers, they stay to the top and work on eating up things on that surface layer. They don’t like bright light and would hide during tge day under your logs, stones, water dish etc. Hard to say how many.... easily a good 100. You can always Remove some. Your torts should eat some as well.

Pill bugs are good too.

I have rolly pollies and springtails. Every once in a while she even catches one ?

Your Redfoot torts will eat most any worm or insect that they encounter.
Make the substrate at least 4" deep.
