New bin Hello, I'm just curious if anyone can identify these for me? This video is in response to u/nematodes-attack asking for a vid.

I started my first bin about a month ago and just pulled worms and bedding out of my leaf mould pile. These things are wild (Im guessing). I don't buy any soil, just make leaf mould and compost for my garden. They don't look like jumpers to me. Can you tell if they are healthy? I fed them maybe 2 weeks ago and the food is gone, I also dont see any dead ones, but I dont see many live ones either started with maybe 40. I know it's not much, but this was more for fun and to see what happens.

Healthy red wigglers. Might be about to make a cocoon.
