I've had no incidents of finding them all over the walls.<br /><br />I've read though that worms need a little time to get acclimated and they'll generally attempt to escape on the first night or so. Put a night light over the bin to keep them put.<br /><br />In my case though, the bin is sealed and the holes are really small. So far, I've had 100% retention. ;-)Chrishttp://cianoy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099211849177523613.post-12935929410179760822010-11-18T20:20:58.403-08:002010-11-18T20:20:58.403-08:00I love the kids picture, they are getting so big a...I love the kids picture, they are getting so big and so cute :)MrsPhilipswithoneLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909442080185673232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099211849177523613.post-68299722655806288722010-11-17T03:28:59.498-08:002010-11-17T03:28:59.498-08:00OK, so no on the night crawlers.

When that bulb went out one night--we went down the next morning to a real life horror/thriller all our own. Walls and floor covered in worms. That was the end of the nightcrawlers. <br /><br />Then there's another story behind the fact that Dad thought it would be interesting to try raising chickens at the same time he had the worms....<br /><br />I feel a blog post coming on!
