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?

i find runaways regularly. they live happy in their bucket, good moisture, good food, good everything. they’re just curious creatures. i have a 3 level bucket tower, my active worm population stays healthy and doesn’t seem to be diminishing. fugitives are normal
