African Nightcrawlers, aka Eudrilus eugeniae, are large and highly sought-after composting worms that produce a beautiful, granular and uniform cast.
"ANCs" prefer warmer temperatures and are rumored to be more voracious vermicomposters than both the European Nightcrawler and its smaller cousin, the Red Wiggler.
These guys are bigger than red wigglers, so expect around 300 worms per pound.
Expect shipment on Mondays or Tuesdays!
Your worms will ship via USPS Priority from Wisconsin packed in dry peat moss to prevent overheating. Place your order by Sunday at 1:00 pm to make Monday or Tuesday’s shipment. All orders that come in after 1:00pm Sunday will be shipped the following Monday (9 days later).
We guarantee live delivery - and we will reship again at our expense - but in the event of a dead-on-arrival shipment, please send an image or video within 2 hours of delivery!
Worms ship for free to the lower 48 US states via USPS Priority and will almost never be shipped with other items. Our cutoff is Friday afternoon for shipment the following Monday or Tuesday. This means that orders placed on Friday evening may not ship for another 9 days or more. We also reserve the right to delay shipment when we anticipate extreme weather either at the point of shipment or at the destination. Please see our shipping info page!
We guarantee our craftmanship and quality of our products. If you've got an issue, please let us know so we can make it right!
We can accept unused non-perishable goods like the Urban Worm Bag for up to 30 days after your purchase in case you change your mind.
