Rabbit manure 2. Manure ( all types, but poultry manure should be allowed to age about 6 months to a year before use.) 3. Food scraps. 4. Shredded cardboard and newspaper. 5. Powdered Worm Food. Purina make a worm food called "Worm Chow". All of the above feed will work well, as long as you watch for heat that can come from decaying matter, pH, and moisture. Mix your bedding a few days before you add the worms so that your bedding will be past the heating stage when you add your worms. Some bedding has a tendency to heat when bacteria begins to break it down. By leaving it for a few days after adding water the bedding should be ready for the worms.
