250 Red Wiggler Cocoons
New to vermicomposting? Red wiggler cocoons are one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to start your worm bin journey. Each tiny cocoon holds 2–5 baby worms ready to hatch — giving you a thriving, self-sustaining colony in just a few weeks.
Our cocoons are hand-harvested from healthy, living worm beds and shipped fresh so they arrive viable and ready to go. No complicated setup required — just add them to a prepared worm bin and let nature do the rest.
