Some farmers choose to use microfluffies to clean broken eggs and other scraps. They may not have been born in the farm, but some colonies have integrated themselves successfully.

Hm, interesting.
Fluffy shit and the inevitable corpses are obviously good fertilizer, but using domesticated ones to “process” scraps could discourage vermin from moving into compost piles.

Or other vermin, anyway.

They are the vermin.

Vermin are by definition wild, reproducing and/or swarming uncontrollably.
A domestic controlled population is not.

Was being chauvinistic.
That being said, any breed of micro capable of surviving in the wild would be hard to manage.

Ive got some chickens and we’ll sometimes throw eggs on the ground or against a tree for them as its healthy for them! They’ll go nuts over trying to keep it from the rest of the flock

That’s true, I’ve seen that before! That’s kind of where the concept came from.

Some industrial abuse uses fluffies as fertilizer factories. They can digest pretty much anything and their shit makes amazing mulch. Plus if they die, just toss them in the shredder and it’s food for the next batch. Pillow them and install them in racks for space and resource efficiency.
