i am currently on my 4th generation in a colony i started with just 100 worms. i had a similar experience with the first generation of eggs/babies as the original poster. just be patient. soon you will be amazed at how many baby worms you will have.
the most important thing is to control the mold. i started out using the wet paper method and it led to mold problems. i mainly use celery now which works great and gives off very little moisture to the substrate and lasts for a long time.
the worms CAN get all of their moisture from the substrate but they will grow much faster with some veggies.
