I really would not recommending using pet waste for Vermicomposting. Dogs have worms themselves, plus medications like de-wormers if they are on meds, and as for cats - Toxoplasmosis is a bad bad bad thing to be trying to compost with.

@xxLabrat407xx Farm manure is a different type of waste, than Dog or cat or even human poo.

Why are you laughing like idiots?

@weightwhat A gardener once told me that you don't want to use poo compost on food producing plants however I asked myself, how is it that farmers spread manure on their fields?? Hmm...this is indeed a great question. Personally I just toss our doggy poo down the toilet. How hard is that..not very.
-
@weightwhat I guess the question is why would you want to put pet waste in your worm bin when there are plenty of other things to feed them.
-
@cmsalvagio Sorry but you have it wrong, bacteria help break down the food which the worms then digest. Also egg shells produce no oder in a worm bin.
-
yes they do and if u use the egg shell crush them up but dont use to much at one time
-
no dont put your pet waste in the bin. they do have compost bins for pet waste but no pet waste in your bins
Can you put your pet waste in a worm composter?

That would be a good question for the folks at the Greenhouse Cataloge. Give them a call on their 800 number. I would think you can, but there may be better systems out there.

Will they eat hard boiled eggs?

Good question and Im not sure. Worms should not be fed dairy or meat products, Im not sure if eggs fall into this group. Worms are better at digesting fiborous material than protein. It probably wouldnt hurt to feed them a small amount of egg and watch how quickly they eat it. If there is a large volume of eggs though it may be a health issue for people. Having rotting meat, milk, or eggs around doesnt sound too good. Good luck! The Greenhouse Catalogue
