We recommend leaving the tub open, but if you must keep a lid on your superworm container (maybe due to interference by pets or small children) then make sure it's well-ventilated. The tub should be smooth so the worms can't crawl out. The container should be at least 200 square inches and at least 6-8 inches high. For example, you can use a bus pan, under bed storage bin, or wash basin.
Many types of plastic containers can be turned into excellent superworm habitats.
What's the best container for superworms? Add slices of fresh cucumber, melon, or potatoes for hydration. It is generally safer to rear worms at a lower density, as over-crowded worms can overheat, experience stunted growth, or become cannibalistic. The optimal worm-per-square-inch ratio will depend on the size of the worm and your experience in growing them. The tub should be at least 6" high, with a target density of 2-10 worms per square inch. Place a layer of 1-2 inches of bran, oats, wheat middlings, or crushed cheerios in a well-ventilated, smooth plastic tub.
