I have some if you need. I'm in North Van.

Thanks Kivyee,
I did find some. I can’t get the cultures to really get going. What food and substrate are people using.

 

[barvinok]

For substrate: coconut coir, peat moss mixed with the washed send also works. Just make sure that it doesn’t have any fertilizer.
Food: Oatmeal, sometimes bread.

Thanks Anna
i should have asked when I picked up the cultures. I noticed they are starting to take off now, especially the white worms.

It takes some time in the beginning. I use coconut coir (the dried brick) and break off what I need. I feed them dog food, and put a small glass plate over the food. A decent amount of worms will crawl onto the glass, and when feeding I just dip the glass in the tank, refresh the food if necessary, replace the glass over the food and put a breathable lid over the culture container.
