Need advice/help

Not pictured but a layer of grit (eggshells)

The problem, second time I’m checking under the 3 gallon bucket and there’s some escapees. I keep this outside so I have drainage on the bottom and keep the lid on top. How can I make them happy and or improve the situation?

You make a hole, they crawl through.

Shit, so holes should go on the lid

There are reasons to have holes at the bottom, as well as holes at the top, but the ones on the bottom are a way for a roaming creature to get out now and again, and are far from guaranteed to return. The simplest corrective action is to rest atop another bucket, plate or tray. Litter the space between with bedding. Check periodically for wetness and worms and just dump them back in the top.

This made me laugh. Ha
