I cannot get my L454 wigglers out of the cave, and as you can see my breeder box is starting to look like something out of frankenstein I have made a sling to hold up cave in hopes of the wigglers would tumble out and I have even placed a airline at the base of the cave thinking that would dislodge them but nothing do I just let them be

They will leave on their own eventually. I would recommend adding oak leaves to the fry basket. This will give them somewhere to go and hide when they exit the cave.

Consider also a gentle air flow. Tip the cave so that air escapes the cave while leaving the cave floor completely in water.

Good luck!

Cheers, Eric
