Frozen bloodworm in blister packs are cheap enough

I know yeah but a lot more pissing around than a few trays in the freezer aren't they.

Bought Them - Cheap?! Christ, I remember I used to get them for my Alpine newts? Let's just say They were never in danger of being over fed! Fukking pinch of the things in the corner of a bag of water.

To hell with raising three hundred Anything on them! And that was last year? ..... Ahh! Hang about! This was Decades back. They've probably cracked breeding the things by now then. Driven the price down. Gonna say ....!

What about tubifex? They were the thing, in my time. They weren't bloody cheap either! But, tonight, I was reading they practically 'banned' them, in the 80's? Can't remember why now. Something to do with match fishing? WTF?!

No. I always preferred tubifex, myself. Once the little fukkers started hitting the land, give them a jar lid with those in it. Never bred frogs. Ranidae just never appealed to me Toads though? Life long thing about them

Oh! White Worms! Anybody ever actually succeed in getting Those things going? I might even try now, just for shits 'n giggles ~ if I could find the old instructions!

Fukking bit of bread, in a dark box of earth, wasn't it? All the old books used to mention them. In those days, they said to breed / keep mealworms in a " Tin lined box "!

[Ken's Deputy 4,463]

That's brilliant, Katch! I'll bet he breeds the whites in some 'medium' now though? Can't see him fukking around with dirt sandwiches in a dark box.

Amazing how things have come on though. Kids casually spew on about 'Dart Frogs' and how easy to breed they are? Fukk me! In my day they were probably bred by a handful of The Dark Ones.

Wingless fruit fly cultures from Pets R Us? They didn't exist! Pets R Us didn't. And the only way to get fruit flies was breed them yeself. Wanted them wingless? Pull their fukking wings off then!

Did ye know; Axolotls, in Britain, were commercially bred by One Man? He retired, around about the late 80's, I think it was. Boom! Ye couldn't get an axolotl for love or money! Fertility lab's were facing destitution! Fukking crazy it was!

Wouldn't think of something like that, would ye?

They always Kept them in plastic trays. (Dunno if they still do?) In the pet shop? Always in a tray, above the sink. Tap running 24 / 7 into it.

My mate told me he had one or two blokes that got them for his shop. Nasty job, apparently. They're said to like sewage sludge, or something? (Funny, that; Live and thrive in shit. Yet we'd only ever see them in a tray of crystal clear tap water)

I was thinking about them in my sleep, this morning actually. Thinking of putting a tray in the shower.

Blokes must've got some fukkin wedge for them! I mean, I Know pet shops notoriously pay absolute shit for the stuff they sell on./ But, John was buying Pounds of the things. Selling them for like ten bob a small spoonful!

They were like fukking dope!
