Dehydrated Worms
If you suspect your worms to be in an environment which is too dry for them, then after a while they may start to suffer from dehydration. 85% of the weight of a worm is water and they can loose 70% of their body weight without dying. First aid for a dehydrated worms involves putting them in a glass of water for a few hours, while you rectify the wormery conditions, then put them back in the wormery.

Worms come to the surface when it rains, or watering is taking place, when the water fills their burrows...so that they do not drown......👁️🧠👁️

One of my worms escaped and dried out. I put it in a glass of water and it has started moving again. Thank you.
