I know red worms are good in compost bins under rabbits, just wondering about nightcrawlers. We do a lot of fishing and I want to know if I can use the european nightcrawler instead of the red worms...It seems I read somewhere that different kinds of worms ate different things. I am worm illiterate....please help.,.. :)

I raised them before under the rabbits they do good. It's the easiest thing to do just put some under there as long as you have a couple inches droppings.

Ok, worms go in this weekend. I will keep everyone posted on how they do. This, to me is very cool. I have always wanted to raise worms for composting, and rabbits for garden fertilizer, now I am doing both, sweet!

I want to do some under my son's rabbit hutches, because he loves fishing.

They are outside hutches over dirt.
right now there is a good foot of droppings and some hay mixed in.

How do I get started?

Get some worms and drop them in. That's all there is to it don't spread them just drop them in on top. And remember to forget about them.
Do you have auto waters or bowls ?

Do you have a border around the droppings ? Can you post any pictures of your setup ?
