The cause may be one of several things:
It may be that your carrots have a coating on them - an antibacterial film calcium ascorbate to prevent spoilage.
If they're older they may have dry rot or fungus that in itself may not harm your worms but will cause the bedding to spoil.
When they eat fresh carrots, it will also increase their activity and frass production. If the bedding is too deep (we keep ours at 1.5") the frass in the bottom will create heat and overheat your worms.
