Common problems (quick fixes):
🐛 Worms escaping or unhappy
Usually too wet, too much food, or not enough bedding
👉 Stop feeding, add dry cardboard, check moisture
💧 Wormery too wet or smelly
Too much food or poor airflow
👉 Add bedding, reduce feeding, improve airflow
🍏 Bokashi smells wrong
Too much liquid or not enough bran
👉 Add more bran, drain regularly, keep lid sealed

New setup or poor positioning
👉 Give it time, place near cover, keep consistent
🦠 Feeders getting messy or mouldy
Too much food or not cleaned
👉 Feed little and often, clean regularly
🐱 Birds getting spooked or not staying
Too exposed or near predators
