I have a question about the worm factory and my backyard full of inquisitive squirrels , raccoons, and feral cats.

I have a used worm factory that was given to me by someone moving. It had been left outside in a pile of other items and the lid is rather warped. I don't want to use it indoors for that reason.

Is there any "diet" that I might give the worms that would not attract the attention of these 4 legged visitors, and would the worms themselves cause any extra creatures to the backyard. As a reminder, I had to have my house resided with vinyl and several trees removed as something made itself at home in my home.

At what temperature do the worms survive and thrive outdoors in a cold climate? My growing partner used to have several bins going in his heated garage and production was very low in the winter but at least they survived.
