go to any wallmart or baitshop, they see little styrophone containers and a worm bedding for fishermen and people who raise worms, might be an option.

Earthworms eat leaves. Get a box throw some dirt in it and leaves on top of the dirt. Add earthworms they like it dark, the light paralyzes them. I have a mulch pit in my backyard and the earthworms thrive in it as long as i keep the ground moist. If it drys up they simple move on to greener pastures.

I should know, my dad has bred over 5000 worms. If you just want them to stay alive keep them in a 10 gallon container. Have about 5-7 inches of soil. Use a spray bottle and spray the soil daily which keeps the soil moist and humid. Have a little shredded news paper and pieces of banana and banana peels, and also Coffee grounds. Our worms love bananas.
