how do you keep night crawlers alive??

[TBurnham]

From one fishing trip to the next? I mean do you use different dirt than they come in and what about feeding them? Any help would be great, I try and buy alot of them at a time to get a better price but I am having trouble keeping them alive. Thnkas in advance TBurnham

I throw mine in the fridge, and add some coffee grounds on the top. I have no idea why... I had heard that once... and it seems to work.

I also keep them in the fridge and use the coffee grounds, been doing it for years and it works just fine. If i have to travel i make sure to keep them in a seperate cooler.

Nightcrawlers are inexpensie so I just buy several in tubs of 20. I put some Buss Worm Bedding in a gallon Folger's plastic coffee can and throw about 3 dozen of the freshly bought night crawlers inside. The worm bedding has its own food. I bought one of those little refrigerators like you see in college dorms for about $60 and keep my bait in there. That worm bedding makes the crawlers feistier, and is much cleaner on your hands than the old worm dirt.
