Small worm bins can be fun as they can be very hands on and you can really see what is going on in the system.  However, because the smaller worm bins can be less forgiving, it is necessary to pay close attention to the smaller bin and it must be taken care of on a fairly regular basis.  The balance in these smaller worm bins is a bit more delicate than that of a bigger worm bin.

These small bins do not have any holes drilled on the sides or in the bottom for air or moisture drainage.  I tend to keep these bins on the dry side, but the more you are in the bin turning it the wetter you can keep it.  The worms will like that.  But the balance can be delicate and the health of the bin can turn sour very quickly.
