Hi Werner, I guess I should have been more specific. I happen to be using a very high quality (for my dog) dog food with what appear to be good ingredients (See below for ingredients and analysis). It has an unusually high protein content for dog food. What's important is also the fat content and what kind of fat is included. There should be either fish oil, flaxseed oil or canola oil so that important Omega 3 fatty acids are either directly in the food or can be be produced by the worms (from canola, flaxseed which have precursors). Bread and potatoes alone don't provide those nutrients. And as you can see dog food in general also has all kinds of vitamins and minerals added.
Having said that, I'm pretty sure even "cheap" dog food would work just fine as long as it has a high "good fat" (see above) content. I don't think for the worms the high protein is very essential.
