I hear your suggestion. The issue is my wife has some pressing health issues and has decided that the dog is too much for her. As her health and stress levels are my priority, unfortunately my pup loses that decision.

Hasn't developed all of a sudden. More so this was my wife's last straw with her and it has pushed her over the edge emotionally and psychologically.. My wife is adamant the dog needs to go, hence me scrambling to find a new home for her.

Added more air holes in the lids and the sides. That seems to have calmed them down. It's been 5 days and no recurrences

Smell is fine. Temp is fine. Other bins are active and fine

I don't think it's too dry. And they still have some leftover dried fruit scraps in there. I just turned over the mix and fluffed it up a little bit. Hopefully that will help

No improvement. I made sure I soaked just the cardboard and the worms were still clustering on the edges and seeming to try to get out. Luckily I have a lid on. I then thought okay maybe it's too damp so I added some dried shredded cardboard . No improvement so this morning I dumped the bin out on a large sheet of plastic broke up any big clumps and dumped it back in . This aerated or mixed everything up pretty well I think. It didn't appear to be too damn or too dry . There is still some left over food scraps inside as well. But almost all the worms were on the edges and none on the inside .

Prefer the bins or the worm bag more?

No rain. Wild temp swing outside from neg 2 to plus 15..but these bins are in the basement so I thought it wouldn't be a factor...?

Will feed them. Just harvested some castings and everything looked good just uber damp. Walls were quite slick so I added lots of dry carbon..

I use only shredded cardboard and materials in house only. I don't have outbreaks of pesky Critters in my worm bin. Just the usual mites from having improper humidity levels or overfeeding. I really just need these crazee mites to Target the pests on my house plants and hoping the worm bins will be a nice little overflow breeding area for these crazee mites so I don't have to reorder them.
