Candy?

14 years ago

I have tossed a few pieces of white chocolate in the bin. The mites are all over it, but it is too soon to know what the worms will think, especially since I also have horse manure in the bin, which the worms think really is candy. (Does horse manure cause worms to grow teeth? You would think so, considering how they are devouring the stuff.)

Anyway, has anyone tried feeding worms candy? What were the results?

I've thrown candy in my bin. It melted and disappeared. The worms continued living. I wouldn't put in a lot, though.

This is white chocolate, which means a lot of cocoa butter. I don't expect it to dissolve. The mites are still all over it, and the worms are still ignoring it.
