As invertebrates they can crawl up the sides of a cooler and ooze out thru the lid joint, and you will have a basement full of worms. One way to keep them in is to hang a 40 watt bulb over the bed so they stay down. Soak peat moss till it won't take any more water, but don't let it get too soggy, worms breath thru their skin, and use that for bedding. When they've got that about gone, replace with more and/or top feed cheap oatmeal, coffee grounds, tea bag powder etc, and NEVER use city tap water, the chemicals will kill them, catch rain water and use that.

Get yourself some good crawler bedding, mix in coffee grounds and small pieces of banana peels, keep it moist and in a fridge. They will keep a long, long time that way. JM2¢ it works for me.
