Some say 60 degrees Fahrenheit is their bottom, some say 50 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature they start to die at, I have even read a grower say that they can handle 45 degrees Fahrenheit comfortably. There seems to be some discrepancy on what the bottom temperature is that they can endure. Now, we must remember, that African Nightcrawlers are a tropical worm. And, of course, this makes sense because they produce Worm Castings 2-3 times faster than the other composting worms. I cannot say that I am familiar with all the operations in the United States that produce and sell large volumes of Worm Castings as their primary product, but out of all the ones that I know, I believe that the majority of them are using African Nightcrawlers to produce their Worm Castings. They eat more food per day than any other composting worm.
They have huge appetites, they will eat up to 150% of their own body weight each day if given the proper environment and proper amount of food. African Nightcrawlers have a unique coloring, being a mix of grey and purple. The African Nightcrawler, Eudrilus Eugeniae (Scientific Name), is truly an amazing composting worm.
