Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!
Are you meaning ice cream containers made out of paper products? I’m pretty sure worms are going to eat their way right out of those, just as soon as the paper starts decomposing, which it would readily do in contact with worms and worm bedding. Worm farms need to be made out of plastic. As a practical matter, you’d want a large enough container that one feeding of kitchen scraps wouldn’t overwhelm your worms, unless this is a very small scale experiment.

Yes you can.
Here are a couple of links on how to keep them. The first one you can even make one out of a large sweet jar.
