If not one of those, anyone using any type of indoor worm bin? I ask because I wanted to know if you ever had any problems feeding the bin with fresh rabbit berries? Thanks,
Joe

My bin was home made and here in Ga I evetually did away with the indoor type and continue raising worms outside all year.
I soak rabbit berries in just enough water for the berries to soak it up then cover so they don't dry out let it sit for a week or 2 before giving it to the worms because once its soaked it tends to heat up. I killed some worms one time adding it too soon. My worms won't eat them if the berries dry out. Soaked slightly aged berries get eaten very fast! Hope this helps

Hey Joe, I have a couple of worm bins in my basement and I don't recall if I found it here or elsewhere but I just take an ice cream pail or any bucket and soak the berries for a few hours. Then strain the water off and add directly to the worm bin. No problems so far. Well except 1. I've found if I don't bury them well enough I'll see a light fuzz of mold growing. Buried completely no problem.
My bins are just the 10 gallon I think it is totes. Stacked 2 high with a dozen or so drain holes drilled in the bottom of the top tote. Much cheaper than a commercial worm bin.
I can't do all of my berries this way but between the bins and what I'm saving for my uncle's garden I'm getting rid of my waste. I suppose if I bought another 2-3 sets of bins, or maybe fed more aggressively, I could probably do all of mine. I tend to underfeed than overfeed the worms though as I don't want rabbit feces rotting in bins in the basement lol
And I just wanted to add there is no noxious smell at all, but a very nice earthy scent.
