I would say fat worms indicates that the conditions are favorable so they they are not stressed out and would be more likely to eat more and reproduce more.
A worm bin should be very strong in earth element. Put it in a direction that needs more earth.
Turn it upside down so the door is at the top and keep on wormin'.
I think worms love any kind of poop, that is their job. As long as you do not give your camel anti-worm medicine before, they should love it.
Susan is right. Not very many worms try to escape except when I open the lid to feed them. Plus I have two cats and anything resembling wiggling yarn does not have much chance getting to the top of the bed.

Asking for worms for my birthday
It is my birthday today and my 4 year old daughter came up to me and asked what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted 5 pounds of worms. She said that was not really a present.
