My family member has a worm farm, would it be safe to feed my hermit crab's the castings?

My nanna has a worm farm, and I don't know whether the castings are safe. Any ideas?

My hermits love worm castings. I dont see why it shouldnt be.

I know one thing about worms. They can or seem to tolerate many pesticides. We have worms on/in our golf greens which are treated with many pesticides. I’m going to be super paranoid that I’ll get something in the crabitat when we start spraying again during the growing season.

I don’t know if the chemicals transfer into their castings or not but I’d be cautious. Are the fed clean? If so it should be fine.

That's what I don't know.
