Can you keep an earthworm as a pet?
Worms live underground, so a pet earthworm might not seem like the most exciting pet in the world—until you realize that your pet worm is the best, most stealthiest pet a kid can have! Your pet can live underground in a worm box, window box, or in a potted plant, or even outside in the garden.
How long can a worm live in captivity?
Captive earthworms (in a worm composting bin) have been reported to live as long as 10 years! Earthworms can eat many kinds of organic matter, including dead plant materials (dead leaves and other plant debris), soil micro-organisms (protozoa, nematodes, bacteria, fungi, etc.), and the remains of larger dead animals.
