Death Toll

I cleaned out 16 dead worms today. Along with a ton a worm skins. They are shedding their skin like crazy.

I also possibly witnessed one in the process of dying. It was strange. He was just lying there then started thrashing around and flipped on his back and did it too. I have never seen one do that before. They typically slither, or appear to slither. They do have six legs so that is really what carries them.

The worms are a lot bigger than they were before. They are brownish white in color. They are almost always underneath the oats. Sometimes they will surface, mostly when they are about to die. I put the damp paper towel in their tank (I mentioned it in the last entry). I am not sure if it helped with moisture but they surface more with it in there. So I kept it there. Sometimes they even crawl on top of it.

The potatoes are almost completely done with. Only a little bit remains (I was going to throw it away but a worm was inside of it.) I added some apple to the tank.

This is my final note before the worms emigrate to Rebekah's house! Safe journey, worms!
