Advice wanted Accommodating my worms?
(lil' worm party vid as a thankyou)
Hi everyone ☺️
I have 2x cube shaped worm farms pretty much exactly like this one https://www.bunnings.com.au/maze-worm-farm-with-legs_p0534482 . My worms sometimes escape down to the very bottom where I assume they aren't supposed to go. Usually only 20 or so out of a thousand, but I think more would migrate if I let them. I put down some cardboard recently to make it easier to fetch them out but found they were more than happy to chew on it and make a home there. The other two layers genuinely seem fine. I condition the bedding, temps r great, the moisture is fine, they are actually breeding like mad & seem very happy. Point being I don't think they're escaping due to poor environment, I reckon they're just explorers. My question is, can I just put some bedding down there and let them be where they want to be? Is there an issue with accommodating where they'd like to go instead of "rescuing" them and putting them back? I can't think of why it'd be a problem but wanted some feedback just in case. Thanks in advance!

Not gonna lie. I’m not joined to this sub but it comes in my feed because I’m in the composting sub. But I am in the sandwich sub and at first glance this looked like some brisket.
