Good Worms

Pot Worm

Enchytraeidae is a family of microdrile oligochaetes. They resemble small earthworms and include both terrestrial species known as potworms that live in highly organic terrestrial environments, as well as some that are marine. Compost Garden Soil Has Worms. If you've added materials that change the pH balance in your compost pile or if rain showers have made it much wetter than usual, you might notice a large collection of white, small, thread-like worms working their way through the heap. The enchytraeids, or pot worms are a smaller version of an earthworm, but are unable to consume leaf matter and detritus in the same way. They gain most of their nutrients by consuming fungal hyphae and bacterial material, together with the frass or excreta from other soil animals.

• Scientific name: Enchytraeidae
• Rank: Family
• Higher classification: Haplotaxids
• Family: Enchytraeidae; Vejdovský, 1879
• Order: Tubificida
• Phylum: Annelida

Pin Worm VS Pot Worm

• Were they found IN THE RABBIT , or IN THE COMPOST?
• Are the rabbits showing any signs of hair it weight loss? Itchy butts? If not . Probably not a pin worm.
• Have you butchered recently? They will be obvious in the intestines... if not .. its NOT a pin worm.
• Are your rabbits in cages? Probably NOT A PIN WORM.

Pin worms wouldn't just be falling out of your rabbit for you to see unless the rabbits were given a dewormer that stunned the pin worms and caused them to fall out. Even then, they would be encased inside the poop. You would have to break apart the poops to free the pin worms in order to take this pic. ~Marta Wajngarten

rabbits can't give humans pinworms, nor can humans give rabbits pinworms. I mean, I suppose technically, some rabbit pinworm somewhere could mutate enough to be able to infect a human and become the subject of scientific literature around the world, but my non PhD self says that seems unlikely. ~Sarah Reid 

Syphacia muris is zoonotic and commonly found in humans. Caged rabbits dont just get pinworm. I'd be concerned rodents are in or around the rabbit feed or cages. ~Catherine O'Reilly

Whip Worm

Trichuris trichiura, Trichocephalus trichiuris or whipworm, is a parasitic roundworm that causes trichuriasis when it infects a human large intestine. It is commonly known as the whipworm which refers to the shape of the worm; it looks like a whip with wider "handles" at the posterior end.
