Grrrrrrrr.......closed the lids on my bait boxes in the fride (usually leave them open) - 26 quid of slush this morning (was still alive but bright pink & slushy)...

What happened - condensation? (they were fresh with sheets of newspaper in between)

High pressure and sudden increase in daytime temperature would be my guess.

put them in vermicalite (get it at the builders merchants)and keep in a cool place.the rag i used to day ive had for 4 days and the rest il use this week.any damp will turn it to ****e,the vermicalite dispels damp.

that is bad news mate, i had 3score of yellows go belly up in a fridge @5'c after 2days, changed water every day and they just turned overnight, smelled like the cat has shat in there!LOL! ...... i'm still trying to find a masterplan on worm care!!

i read somwhere about using vacumite for ragworm and the concensus was that it wasnt good for the worms, made them float because they eat/absorb it... dont quote me on that!? think it was sea angler mag tho??

i always put mine in sea peat and the lowest part of the fridge and if i have none of that i wrap them in newspaper seems to work the only time they have went mushy is when i have had them all in together with sand or nothing
