Have holes in the lid or along the sides at the top of the container. Keep your bedding about 2-3 inches below the top of the container. The worms will only leave if things aren't to their liking. If you leave a light on over the bed, they will not crawl out. Drill holes in the bottom (small ones), put a piece of landscape cloth or fine screen over these, then add your bedding and worms.

How much air do the worms need; by which I mean, what sort of containers are suitable? How do you make a container reliably leak air while still making it reliably *not* leak worms? Is it enough just to have a bucket with high sides?
