The leaves can decompose faster than the paper and might have been favored by the worms over the paper too. Bruce Chuck,

If you have the time and used cinnamon I would change the bedding as a precaution.

I have been mixing newspaper with the white paper. Now I will have to go through my bedding and try to remove the paper. I noticed in my red wiggler bin that there is a lot of shredded paper still but the yard leaves I put in there have almost been completely composted. I took your advise and bought a garden claw to breakup the soil. This is how I noticed what was composted and what was not. Also, you were right about using the cinnamon in the bin. I lost all my mature red wigglers except for a lot of babies. By the way, I wonder if I should change out the bedding completely before I get the 2lbs of wigglers I ordered from you.
