What is the suitable temperature for earthworms to live?
The active temperature of earthworms is generally 5 ~ 30℃, and the optimum temperature is about 20℃.

When the temperature is higher than 32℃, the growth stops; When the temperature is lower than 65438 00℃, the activity is slow; When it is below 5℃, it is dormant; When the temperature is higher than 40℃ or lower than 0℃, it will cause death. Therefore, measures should be taken to prevent heatstroke and prevent cold during feeding.

Different kinds of earthworms have different suitable humidity. In the soil with gravel and sand accounting for 5% ~ 85%, the suitable humidity of earthworm is 15% ~ 34%, and that of Eisenia foetida is 20% ~ 30%. If you live in fermented horse manure, its suitable water content is 60% ~ 72%. The optimum humidity of Eisenia foetida cocoon hatching is 60% ~ 70%.
