I am doing vermiculture at home. i find that from 1 of the crates, worms r runnin away. can u give reasons?

i am doing vermiculture 8 home. i had started with 1 crate of worms, which i had seperated into 2 after approx 8 weeks. later i had expanded them into 3 crates. while d worms r comfortable in 2 of d crates, worms of d 3rd crate r running away n committin suicide. i have lost a number of them. i have tried to change the crates and the feed. but the problem persists. can anyone give reasons for this phenomenon and remedial measures?

Answer:
They run out when they are either overcrowded or the conditions are poor (too much water, too little food, too much waste)
