white worms

[J Miller <ruddigar_99 at yahoo_com>]

  I received a starter culture of white worms about a week ago.  I put
them (about 1/2 dozen) in a small margarine container filled 3/4 with
peat and the media they came in (looks like soil).  I placed a small
amount of fish flakes under a piece of plexiglass, but the worms
haven't come up for it yet.
  I went digging around in the container to see if any were still
alive, and found a few around the bottom.  Any ideas why they aren't
coming up for the food?  Should I take some of the peat out to make it
shallower?
  Maybe it's too cool or warm for them.  I have kept them on the floor
in my fish room - room temp is about 68F on the racks so a couple
degrees cooler on the floor.  I tried having them off the floor a bit,
but I don't want them to get too warm because I know they prefer cooler
temp.

TIA
