Best Answer

In a mole system, there is a large (bed) chamber, and smaller storage chambers, and a maze of tunnels with excess soil pushed upwards as mole hills. Any earth worm than drops into a tunnel will find it difficult to get out through the smooth walls of the tunnel. The mole, very sensitive to vibrations, will home in on the struggling worm. The worm is either eaten there and then, or the head is nibbled off and the worm in placed in one of the storage chambers for later eating. Without a head, the worm is unable to escape and must away its fate.
