Do not fill your habitat more than 3-4 inches (7.6-10 cm)-you do not want to make it too small. Begin by filling one niche corner of a terrarium with soil and replacing the soil with a more moisture-resistant material. This will help promote beneficial digestive processes. [substeps] Think about which fruit trees you'd like to grow in your terrarium. Poke several small holes through the lid with a thin nail or similar tool (no thicker than the tip of a pencil) so air gets in, but the worm doesn't get out. Line the bottom with about an inch of dirt or wood shavings. These can be purchased at major pet stores, habitat centers, online, or be given to your dog. [substeps] Choose terrariums that are relatively fresh and keep well moist.
