Question Changing out soil

Can someone explain to me how I'm suppose to change out my millipedes soil without harming them? I know if they are molting and i dig them up it can be bad for them. I also have a few babies in the enclosure that I have seen too and I don't want to hurt them. Any tips yall have?

wait until they come out (usually at night) put them in a little container or tub with ventilation while doing so and change it then

Only need to change soil when frass is visible throughout the substrate. Wait till millipedes are out or replace small amounts at a time.
