From their website FAQ:

Q: Some of my worms are dark brown/black. Is there something wrong?
A: No, the worms naturally start turning brown/black as they are preparing to change into a fly. This is actually when they have the most calcium. They can still be fed when they turn brown/black and can be fed even when they turn into a fly.

Did you order large size? They turn dark pretty fast. As Chase said above even dark they are still excellent feeders. Since they are all small anyway, I order medium size.

Okay good, I was just worried about them, now can I feed the flies off? Thanks for the help guys!
