is it safe to feed boxies worms from walmart? thanks

Mine eat worms from Wal-Mart. They like the panfish/trout worms and the Canadian nightcrawlers. I use to go to a bait shop a few years back and buy redworms (I think) from there, but they went out of business about a year ago.

I feed the canadian nightcrawlers from Walmart as an occation hand fed treat, helps keep them tame, a wiggling nightcrawler in front of them and they loose all inhibitions
