Carrots usually need about 9 to 18 inches of soil depth, depending on the variety that you grow—check the seed packet, if you have one. For containers, the mini types are best — ones that grow short or in a ball-shape. As to moving them, carrots can be tricky. They have a long taproot that extends beyond the orange part; it is important to keep it intact. If your carrots are tiny seedlings at this stage, you might be able to carefully remove them from the soil, including a large and deep root ball, and then adjust the soil level. Some gardeners have had success with this at young seedling stage. But if the plants are more established, it would probably be best to keep them as is, unless the soil level is much under the required depth.
