Well they were getting to know each other. 

Them Red Wigglers are composting fools and they don't get the name Wiggler for nothing.

Some biologists say that about fish in a pond too.   So the age-old belief that fish can be "overstocked" is a myth to them.  

You'd think that, in the name of science, all biologists would agree.....but apparently it's like religion, and you just "believe" whatever makes you feel the best.

In our lab raised we our test worms in plastic bins. When there was a large number of juvenile worms in the bins the adults would end up near the lid of the bins. Seems that they were getting away from the high numbers of young. Maybe it was due to competition for food, bumping into each other or just not wanting to keep hearing Mom!, Mom!, Mom!...🤣.

I could see a situation that if they were not able to move to a more suitable location with less population that they could just stop breeding.
