New bin 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?

Cardboard needs to be moist.

Yes all. Soak all cardboard then squeeze all access water out. Their bedding needs to be moist like what you would find on a rainforest ground.
