S. B. the number of European Nightcrawlers in a ¼ pound varies just as with any worm dependent on the size of the worms. Being our European Nightcrawlers are large being mature adult breeder size, there are less per pound however are ready for breeding or excellent for fishing. These are Hand Picked unlike most sites offering bedrun which offers a mix of juvenile to mature size.

To see the actual size we offer and ship out, visit our 1/4lb European Nightcrawlers. Simply click on the “Click to Enlarge” link toward the top right of the page under the picture.

You do not want to keep many types of worms; including European Nightcrawlers in the refrigerator to simply state it is too cold for them. European Nightcrawlers prefer a room temperature of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If you keep in the refrigerator they will most likely survive for a while, depending on the temperature setting of the refrigerator. However they will slow down, will not eat, hence become real sluggish and weak. This makes it tough on the worms.

Actually I see them all the time in refrigerators in bait supply stores. I have actually gone back and shown them mine versus what they are offering and ask me if I can supply them my worms instead! The difference in circumference, activity… is like night and day!

Hope this helps to clarify,
